Honestly, you seem to underestimate how complicated an update to a
stable distribution is. You seem to imagine everything being a rolling
release, but this is not reality.

The Debian Team is working hard to bring the fixes to the stable
release, but there is only that much they can do. They cannot hand-hold
the release managers.

You might consider this and tone down your attacks a bit.

CVE are completely inappropriate, I am sure you are well aware of that.
