Yes! Not as many as we had wheezy systems with a backports Kernel when we realized that there are no further updates, but some. And if the hardware of a system currently requiring Debian jessie for compatibility reasons fails, replacement hardware will probably need a newer kernel - and in this situation it will need it in a hurry. Intevation is an LTS sponsor, because we usually prefer Debian over some of the other distributions offering LTS releases.
