... Newer kernels drop drivers etc. This stops the kernel ballooning over time.

I understand now that is an advantage to installing new kernels. I think they also fix bugs in kernels, like the mad cow. As I posted before "Will it be available by Lite Update when it won't be a problem?"

I hope this may help enlighten...

Will a "new" kernel version be available via Updates -- I would say for now most likely not -- although there are tools that can install kernels as well as remove  (Lite Tweaks - kernel removal)..
Again this is something that one would need to understand what their getting into, how it may affect their machine and how to get out of; not necessarily "safe"...

As for "fixes" those typically are patched via Updates incrementally an example:Kernel 4.4.0 -> 4.4.28 -> 4.4.53 etc.... (looking at lite tweaks one can see the various installed kernels)
