I updated my kernel more frequently after learning of ketchup.
(<http://www.selenic.com/ketchup/>). The bother of getting the
patch sequence right and applying it was enough to discourage me.
No, it's not particularly difficult, but it may well be enough

Posting a link to ketchup on kernel.org may also decrease the
bandwidth demand, as it seems to be pretty intelligent about
using patches.
