Well, that was a note in the original top post of this thread (second paragraph from the bottom): https://lore.kernel.org/all/54f26c0959f796c52f04da9e831899f6482686ac.camel@HansenPartnership.com/ > Just because it's been there for years, doesn't mean people are aware > of it. The observation I made that no-one challenged is that no-one really tests stable-rc trees. I also asked if we should promote it more, but I really think stable itself is good enough and it would only cause confusion if we promoted an additional less stable stable tree. James
