Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 Officially Launches

One of the most important thing about that release is adding kernel-alt package with kernel 4.14. Red Hat finally started shipping more recent kernel not only that patchwork.

Duh, that'd be pretty neat.... if it supported x86 lol.

Those who want CentOS 7.5 asap, enable CR:

Updates should start to drop a few weeks sooner here.

Or they could just pay for RHEL, and fund open source.

Are there kernel-alt packages for x64-64? According to the 7.5 release notes, the 4.14 kernel-alt is only supported for ARM, IBM Z and Power9.

Wanting "CentOS/RHEL ASAP" is a neat little oxymoron, if you ask me.
You do not want LTS and enterprise stuff ASAP... you want it when it's actually ready and reliable.
