@StryderNotavi @astraleureka @mjg59 @james A package freeze occurs before GA, and at that point in time CentOS Stream had 5.14. The term backporting is commonly used, but it makes things sound minor. RHEL engineering rebases entire subsystems in the kernel, it's why the version number can't be used for comparisons. It only marks the starting point; the RHEL 9.4 kernel is more like a 6.5/6.6 kernel today than 5.14.
