Why the rush though? The kernels where released not even a day ago and why risk breaking peoples setup? Even if partial upgrading the kernel is not recommended it's a fairly common strategy. I'd rather wait a good week for people to have completed the upgrades. I personally do this so I can chug along the testing repositories more easily and not have to reboot every day for my webcam to work. zstd is nice, but not lets-break-a-common-upgrade-strategy nice. -- Morten Linderud PGP: 9C02FF419FECBE16
