Further, if you get code into the kernel, anyone who breaks it needs to fix it. So it seems to me it's only a problem if you're trying to do something like maintain a proprietary driver without putting it into the kernel? Or something to that effect?

    Basically. Out-of-tree drivers are annoying without an LTS kernel.

    There are also out-of-tree drivers which donโ€™t get mainlined for one reason or another even though they are FOSS. OpenZFS has this problem, and now so does bcachefs.
