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.

P.S.: I've sent the answer to all lists where this was originally
posted. Should this be limited to a single list?
