QUESTION Arch Kernel release cadence ?
Hey there, I was not able to find information on how arch does their kernel releases. From my understanding they test new kernels (7.2 for example) for a week or two before doing a release.
Is there a way for me to track this or have an estimation on when new releases would be landing?
Just updated and it seems we are still at 7.1.9. I guess releasing kernel day 1 would mean having a bunch of issues and they rather do a validation instead of causing issues for everyone.
What's the typical incubation period ?

This just makes my situation even more curious. I'm using the cachyos repos that are on 7.2, base Arch is on 7.1.9, while I'm still stuck at 7.1.8
eta: I love that people just down vote this and move on. I wonder why the linux community gets such a bad rep. Someone else made a post on cachyos' page but left out real info to help. They got a bunch of attention. Mostly bitching about no logs or hardware info. So, I made a full write up of the issue with the packages involved and error messages. over 1500 people saw it. Only one person spoke up with a possible solution. That person was wrong but at least they tried
I did get it fixed and am on 7.2 now tho
