It sounds like you are saying that the Linux kernel release cycle
(every 2-3 months) plus the time it takes them to get into Debian is
too slow for Lenovo. While Debian sid is waiting for the next Linux
kernel release, it does get updated with Linux kernel stable releases,
which get fixes that are backported from the next Linux kernel
release. I guess that this might work for some of those fixes, but it
would not work for new drivers or new features etc.
