Kernel release status

Things remain calm, although I do suspect that part of it is that it's been the July 4th week in the US, and a lot of Europe is starting to go away on summer vacation.

But hey, let's not look a gift horse too closely in the mouth. Maybe it's really just that 6.10 is shaping up well. Right? RIGHT?

Stable updates: 6.9.8, 6.6.37, 6.1.97, 5.15.162, 5.10.221, 5.4.279, and 4.19.317 were released on July 5. 6.6.38 followed abruptly on July 9; it reverts some BPF changes with patches that do not appear in the mainline (in this form, at least). "All powerpc and arm64 users of the 6.6 kernel series must upgrade. Everyone else probably should as well to be safe."

The 6.9.9, 6.6.39, and 6.1.98 updates are in the review process; they are due on July 11.
