Long-term support and backport risk
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the main selling points touted by many Linux-oriented vendors is
| stability. Once a customer buys a subscription for an "enterprise" Linux or
| embedded systems product, the vendor will fix bugs in the software but
| otherwise keep it stable. The value for customers is that they can put these
| supported distributions into important parts of their operations (or
| products) secure in the knowledge that their supplier will provide updates
| which keep the system bug-free and secure without breaking things. This
| business model predates Linux by many years, but, as the success of certain
| companies shows, there is still demand for this sort of service.
