Nothing at all related to it what so ever. The standard process for
new stable kernels in Fedora stable releases has been "sometime after
the .3 release" and has been that as long as I've been involved in
kernel stuff (about 10 years).

The process for stable lands the new kernel into the stabilization in
dist-git, and 5.7.2 has been there since Wed 10th, from there the
various maintainers check it's ready and then a test week is scheduled
and initial builds are done.

The process is unchanged by any of the changes for the rawhide kernel
building which has the new process. Justin is on PTO this week, later
this week upstream will no doubt do a 5.7.3 release and I suspect next
week there will be a test day.

As one of the community kernel maintainers doing a bunch of the arm
related kernel stuff in my own time I am actually just fine with the
the messages, the increase in actively is larger than the very quiet
kernel list before but it's still completely manageable and with
headers etc the messages are very easily filtered if you don't like
them.

Well as far as I'm aware "RH management" had nothing to do with the
change of process and it came directly from the actual kernel
maintainers both in Fedora and Red Hat. It will in the medium term
allow the wider community have a say and more of an impact as to what
RHEL kernels look like and opens up the process more, with my
community maintainer hat on (and I really have zero to do with the
internal RHEL kernel process) I actively welcome this.
