I still don't understand why they're not using the "Rapid Security Responses" option for these types of updates.

Are they urgent?

* Yes: then use the "Rapid Security Responses".
* No: Wait for another time and add these things on the 13.5, deploying a single update (which will be probably relieve within 2 weeks).

Apparently patches for kernel issues can't be done via RSR, which is why today it is a full OS update.
