That is not how things are supposed to work. You are supposed to have a fixes
tree/branch and a next tree/branch and fixes should be send out ASAP.

Ideally you would have already send this out as a fixes pull-request for
6.12 but waiting till 6.14 really is not acceptable IMHO.

Note this is not just about Red Hat / Fedora users, other distros are
likely impacted by this too.
