There does seem to be a fundamental dissonance between upstream's policy and Ubuntu's policies here. With upstream not maintaining bugfix only branches; instead only maintaining a feature branch that retains a backwards compatibility guarantee. And Ubuntu's SRU policy preventing us from updating our stable releases this way by default. But this is the way the world is going, and something I think Ubuntu needs to adapt to. I'm not sure how, though. In theory, if their quality is good, could we SRU and rely on their backward compatibility guarantee? Would we really need to rebuild all reverse dependencies? Or are they ABI compatible too? Something for the TB to consider I guess.
