   Many LTS Linux releases backport kernel updates, esp. important security   
   patches.  Sometimes multiple such updates show up in "quick" succesion.  Not   
   often.  They stay at a given base kernel resease for the duration of the LTS   
   release, but will update that kernel with backported upstream patches and will   
   add their own additional versioning when adding backported patches.
