For the redhat users, could you ask the distro maintainer to take this > patch ahead? 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. Regards, Hans
