Really glad that @gregkh refuses[1] to pick up changes for stable/longterm #Linux series (say 5.4.y), if they have not yet been applied to all newer series (e.g. 5.10.y, 5.15.y, …). This is crucial, as people otherwise would run into #regressions if they'd sooner or later update from the older to one of the newer series.
[1] every few weeks (or even more often) some developer learns that aspect through a mail like https://lore.kernel.org/all/2024022603-speculate-staple-4f54@gregkh/
