> On Linux everything is updated together and the kernel is mostly just another package, so it's a non-issue

Except say on my linux (ubuntu), yes the kernel is patched, but the version doesn't increase very often at all sadly. Yes I decide to run the mainline kernels since I'm on a laptop and I find that beneficial, but it's not the default of most linux installations I believe.
