The number of reported security vulnerabilities has gone up drastically. And so has the frequency, number, and volume of security patches. Which also makes the gap between fully supported distributions and ones with only partial security support larger. (Not every distribution provides full security upddates for the full announced life time of a release.)

How are you folks reacting to this?

Fantastic! When we knew this was coming, the company finally prioritized several of my initiatives about getting up to date. More recent CVEs helped me prioritize a smoother path to updates

๐Ÿ˜‚ I am somewhat envious! My company still uses flourescent lamps... and part the stack is from the same time.
