There is two halves to the globe, and one of them isn't summer. It is however, June.

What happened the the fast kernel headers project from Ingo Molnar??

That’s what I want to see as the main update for the next kernel version…

I couldn't find much about it. Latest post on kernel thread is over a year ago. There's an invite to a public talk on the subject, but I didn't find any replies and looking at the schedule I didn't find it, so I'll assume that he hasn't accepted this invitation.

I would really like to see this patch merged as well, but it does seem to have stalled.

What gives me some hope is that the dev cycles for this patches (latest iteration was v3) seem to be long, over a year after the previous announcement.

Who cares? I've long stopped using .0 releases 'cause they normally contain a huge number of regressions. Nowadays I wait at the very least until .4 or .5 release to upgrade to. XFS major data corruption bug was fixed only in 6.3.5.

that's true and I do the same shipping only the first .1 patch level update with the first round of major fixes in our #t2sde Linux https://t2sde.org/packages/linux - I was just wondering what is going on when putting out the tarballs takes that long or if it was pulled for some major reason already, ... but they are there now. So I guess the release time was just not working Sunday night ;-)

I have built on Ubuntu 23.04 and boots/runs just okay. And, Arif Iqbal is still working at WNS news.

i7-13700K, RX 6800XT, 48 GB RAM, EXT4 file system, AX200 WiFi. All work just fine. It is warm, jump in.
