Kernel release status

This one looks fairly normal, although if you look at the diffs, they are dominated by the removal of a staging driver (r8188eu) that has been superceded by a proper driver. That removal itself is 90% of the diffs. But if you filter that out, it all looks normal

Stable updates have not been in short supply; they also have not all been particularly stable. The huge 6.2.3, 6.1.16, and 5.15.99 updates started things off on March 10. 6.2.4 and 6.1.17 followed one day later with fixes, then 6.2.5, 6.1.18, and 5.15.100 showed up with more fixes the same day. The large 5.10.173, 5.4.235, 4.19.276, and 4.14.308 updates also came out on the 11th and, to cap things off, 5.15.101 brought another revert. The 6.2.6, 6.1.19, 5.15.102, 5.10.174, 5.4.236, 4.19.277, and 4.14.309 updates all came out on March 13.

In case that's not enough, the 6.2.7, 6.1.20, 5.15.103, 5.10.175, 5.4.237, 4.19.278, and 4.14.310 updates are all in the review process; they are due on March 17.

Unsurprisingly, all of this churn has restarted the recurring conversation on stable-kernel stability. Little new has been said this time around; the curious can peruse the latest thread for details.
