If you use the “Bug reports” button on https://www.archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/linux, be sure to switch “Category” to “All Categories” in the search interface, or you’ll missed most of them… just like I did when I checked before posting my previous mail to this thread… Thanks @fredbezies for pointing those! >> Two bugs - and maybe more - are opened on kernel bug tracker : >> >> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192111 >> https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=191801 >> >> Looks like linux 4.9 won't be a LTS version at all...

This could indeed be done (it’s even 4.8.17 as of today) if 4.9.2 still doesn’t fix those issues (it has been discussed before that Arch should continue to package updates to the kernel if the new one isn’t ready for consumption), but that’s up to @tpowa. ;) Cheers, Bruno
