Right, so I don't know why didn't Pat just jump to 6.0 then anyways, rather than update to the final iteration of 5.19
There is a theory that because the 6.0.3 amdgpu is broken on my laptop (without patches), Pat does not update
I don't really believe it, but it's the only one we have for the moment
Yes but if you pay attention to how stable releases work, then you could argue it isn't really EOL until 6.0.4 is released. That is, once 6.0.y contains patches that have not been backported to 5.19.y, 5.19.y is EOL.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

Doesn't 6.0.y contain the AMD CPU performance improvement patch that has yet to be back-ported to other "stable" kernels?

Well unless my "lying eyes deceive me" , 6.0 at kernel.org is marked stable and nothing else - so .....it is stable..... *shrug*

A vulnerability was found in vim and classified as problematic. Affected by
this issue is the function qf_update_buffer of the file quickfix.c of the
component autocmd Handler. The manipulation leads to use after free. The
attack may be launched remotely. Upgrading to version 9.0.0805 is able to
address this issue.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
