If they are 10 (11?) months old on major systems version jumps, the fuck are they doing for monthly security patches?!

Wait, what does one have to do with the other? When a new Android version comes out it doesn't mean that the previous one stops getting security fixes. You can stay on a previous version and still be up to date on security.

You can, but if one isn't providing consistent and timely patches, you're not secure. And if it takes nearly a year to push a version bump, they aren't going to be on the ball with smaller fixes either.

Tell me you never had to maintain software without telling me you never had to maintain software. 😂

(It's actually opposite: If someone were slow on the smaller patches that'd bode ill for the big ones, but the opposite has no meaning)
