This is a case where theory collides with the real world. Yes, our QA is lacking, but we don't have the option of not doing the current process. If we stop backporting until a future data where our QA problem is solved we'll end up with what we had before: users stuck on ancient kernels without a way to upgrade.
Sorry, but you seem to be living in a different "real world"...
I have to agree here :-(.
People stay on "ancient kernels" that "just works" instead of updating to a newer one that "hopefully/maybe/... works"

Process went from "serious bugs that bother people only" to "hey, this looks like a bugfix, lets put it into tree and see what it breaks"...
