The answer doesn't have to be so tetchy as your ire puts it, it's as simple as reducing releases to once a week or once every other week. I respect your work greatly, but you've taken the "throw the baby out with the bathwater" approach to your answer here; two Production LTS kernels a week seems excessive to me.

Why is it "excessive"? We are running 30+ fixes a day in these kernel releases, who would benefit if we delayed in getting those known-bug/security fixes out to the world quickly and properly tested (as we are currently doing)?

Why wait? What is a slower cadence going to accomplish?

If you only want to upgrade your kernel once a week, then you are free to do so regardless of how many releases they make during the week. Unless they've been introducing regressions by releasing too aggressively, there's no upside to releasing less often.
