Am I missing something here?
We use and love CentOS for its stability and the fact(?) that the
upstream provider does extensive QA(?)
Now we have a major regression in the 5.4 kernel and the proposal in the
bug fix is wait until 5.5 for the patch?
or do it yourself - something I do not look forward to doing.
Is someone dropping the ball or am I over-reacting?
