   @jann 6.12 is the next Longterm kernel, as it's highly unusual these days when a devel cycle is not 63 or 70 days long[1]. 6.13 thus will be out on January 20th or 27th – or one week later each, if we for some reason get a 6.12-rc8.

     @kernellogger @jann It's not just "unusual" that a cycle takes longer than 70 days, it has only happened twice in the last 15 years: 3.1 (slowed by the kernel.org compromise) and 4.15 (the meltdown/spectre release). It takes an event of that magnitude to slow things down at this point.
     
     I'm not sure if we can realistically make the cycle shorter - some problems just take time to turn up and to be fixed.
