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.
Hence the news entry?
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.
It can be a week, a month, or even more before everyone using Arch has updated. This has the potential to affect only users running linux-lts on 5.4 or holding back linux on a version prior to 5.9, for some reason. Most users won't even be affected by this.
zstd is nice, but not lets-break-a-common-upgrade-strategy nice.
I can delay the update for an arbitrary number of days (a week?), but in the end it's arbitrary, without clear guidelines. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
