The assumption in the proposal is that if the update is really critical, 
somebody will care.

And those "lazy" people (in quotes because there are also other reasons than 
laziness) would otherwise end up with no updates at all, how is that better 
than at least providing _some_ security fixes, even if not all gets fixed?
