What about package, kernel and security updates, like Debian and Ubuntu? Do you have to wait years for Intel engineers to get around to updating to the latest production versions of common applications, or for them to apply upstream security fixes? This was a problem with RedHat and CentOS, and even Ubuntu to some degree. Package authors would push updates to their sources in Debian, but it would take years to see the updates in the other distros, or it would never happen at all. What about library dependencies for development? Is there a "testing" distro that can be used in Jenkins to inform developers about necessary future changes? Otherwise software deployments get stuck on a legacy distro version as the world moves on, and eventually can't get security fixes anymore for the aging o.s.
