On the other hand, not all new security vulnerabilities are backported either.
Do you think that new major OS versions introduce only fixes and not bugs?
I think version N-1 is a good balance between getting the fixes and avoiding the new bugs.
If you can deal with known vulnerabilities and cross-reference all of Apple's CVE notes, more power to you. I can't say I have that much free time (Liquid Glass sucks, though).
