You missed a very important point. Its not just bleeding edge... but
sustainable bleed-edge.
We work closely with upstream. And in the case of this specific kernel

said upstream patch was merged by Linus for a short while and then
reverted for quality reasons.... so that would be a strong indication
of "maybe not a good idea"
