You're the only person suggesting it would be a zero day update, rather than following the usual kernel rebasing process. The 4.6 kernel is mainline, not stable. I can't recall Fedora shipping with a mainline kernel. If testing coverage is your concern, 4.5.3 will have had more coverage by a lot than 4.6.0 will get in the next two weeks before freeze. And then what? You expect the kernel team to carry backports for 4.6.0 for a week or two after GA? I don't see the point at all. Historically it's about a month before a kernel goes stable, and then we'd see 4.6.1 right about when Fedora 24 goes GA, and 4.6.1 would still spend some time in u-t before it'd get to most users. I don't know why you think it'd be a zero day update. -- Chris Murphy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
