I don't think ES would solve that issue anyway. ES would have the same 
policy as legacy, providing only security updates. It's just got more 
manpower to do so. You still wouldn't get new features. For that you need 
an OS upgrade.

Those of us who want to upgrade incrementally without doing the whole 
platform are pretty much on our own. (I'm in a similar situation with FC2.)
