For people who this doesn't make sense, it's the timeline of the stack on top that drives the OS stability requirements.

If you work in heavily regulated industries, systems migrations and software development can be order-of-years.

Having a mandatory OS upgrade mid-development/deployment is not desirable.

It's a terrible way to develop, but when changes need to be documented in excruciating detail and signed off on by legal... sometimes it's just the way things are.
