But you're perfectly happy to make the kernel developers do the

Go back and look at the status of the 2.5 tree - there were *large*
chunks of time when 2.4 or 2.5 would get an important bugfix, but the
other tree wouldn't get it for *weeks* because of the hassle of
cross-porting the patch.
Weeks is better than never, and still better than commercial vendors. ;)
