Description Adam Williamson 2022-10-27 18:37:30 UTC 
The initial plan for Fedora 37 was to ship final with a 5.19 series kernel, and go to 6.0 shortly after release.

However, F37 Final has been delayed by several weeks due to multiple factors (most lately the pending critical openssl vuln). Kernel 5.19 is already EOL, and 6.0 is well into its stabilization phase and has quite a lot of testing behind it, including a full kernel test week - https://testdays.fedoraproject.org/events/145 .

Given the delays, I'd suggest it makes sense to pull a 6.0 kernel in for F37 Final. 6.0.5 is currently in updates-testing with positive feedback; 6.0.6 is planned in a few days. This bug is filed for the purpose of being proposed as a freeze exception to allow this to happen.

Note this would also make fixing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2137600 more straightforward, as we would not have to push the kernel dist-git and updates 'backwards' to get a 5.19 build with that fix.

This is part of the broader plan, generally agreed upon at the 2022-10-27 go/no-go meeting, to consider freshening up key components for the delayed release.
