Security fixes should be totally separate from UI and functionality chhanges. We need more software with long-term-supported stable releases.

Functionality and UI changes breed fear of updates which lessens security.

And there are an number of bug categories (phishing, social engineering, etc.) which intersect on UI/UX.
