People may have specific hardware issue that's blocking them and a new kernel release fixes the issue. In that situation they see this announcement and they may be technically brave enough to want to install and check it. Currently they have to find and go to something like https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ , find the right versions, download multiple files and then `sudo dpkg -i linux-*.deb` and then confirm if their issue is fixed.
I'm not saying it's a great idea, but I'm explaining why people may expect to have a smoother path here.
