Which mainline Ubuntu is certainly not, much less the step-children
like Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc...

You probably didn't understand how the Mint updater works: they have a
very paternalistic attitude towards updates and by default only show
what they consider to be class 1 to 3 updates which they have either
originated themselves or tested with their distro.  Many things that
come into Ubuntu never reach Mint unless you (1) use apt or (2) enable
the "dangerous" updates in classes 4 and 5.  New kernels are almost
always class 4 or 5, so most Mint users never update the kernel between
the semi-annual releases.  This *probably* reduces breakage.
