That certainly does happen and individual packages can be excluded (and
the bugs reported) ... but upgrades still need to happen whenever possible.

We have released  4 different kernels since 6.5 (so 5 kernels including

Again, these updates happen because there are issues that need to be
fixed, and it is very important that they get applied.
