But that basically doesn't happen between release upgrades, not unless you're doing something with third party repos at least.

I genuinely don't know, but can you do security updates without rebasing? Just keeping some working version pinned sounds like bad idea to me, and doesn't even save you time because you'll need it resolve that problem eventually anyways.

Nvidia would like a word

For pre-Turing closed drivers I'd count that as an unsupported third party, even if the distribution in questions tries to support it.

I have an Nvidia card and I've never had it cause problems.

Many people install Nvidia drivers by using their shipped .run binary (which is a bad idea) and thus breaks when the kernel is updated to something higher than the DKMS module supports.

Well, that certainly counts as third party
