This is not nastiness, if you don't like the way the project manages
release lifecycle, you have workarounds :
- Test new release-candidates to verify no regression pop up in your
  standard setup, fill PRs about problems if needed and help project
  developpers to make the release better.
- Pay someone to maintain the One True Release that suits your
  particular needs.
- Use an os/distro that has the kind of long term support you seem to
  need.

You just can't expect to moan on a mailing list about hypothetical bugs
that would impact your setup and be welcomed as the new messiah as you
demand extended support for a previous release just because you haven't
done your homework.
