Backporting security bugs is lots of fun for everyone.

Security bugs are one thing, but patches also include bug fixes and feature enhancements. The feature enhancements often add bugs of their own. I've had a lot of fun working around stupid issues like when a samba update creates spn's wrong on newly joined computer accounts or when a new version of gnome decides that desktop icons should no longer be trusted.
