credibility and trust with the administrators of those systems, which
will damage the reputation of Fedora/Red Hat, as well as convince
those organizations to look into alternatives where stability within a
release is valued as it used to be with Red Hat.
by this argument Fedora wouldn't be able to release updated kernels
including those with urgent security fixes.
There is a difference between breaking things accidentally (a risk that you
can never completely avoid) and breaking things deliberately and knowingly.
