Imagine that system boot with older > kernel by mistake - this open the door for script kiddies (or hackers). you have a valid point in that its a new point release, and its ok to add functionality this way, BUT the issue is that there are admins out there who would rely on having a stable distro - where functionality to automatically start removing stuff does not get introduced midway.
