What is your interpretation of why Greg KH released a version of 6.12 with this fix in it today, other than to help distributions avoid this vulnerability?
Why would he ever... not release a new version? I don't get what you're trying to say - I'm stating Greg's explicit policy on the topic. If he did something outside of that policy, that wouldn't change anything.
I don't know what you mean at all. I'm just repeating known kernel policy here. What does 6.12 have to do with anything?
