Because backporting is the same as writing drivers??
- rc00 2y agoWhen the drivers are being written with compatibility in mind for the older kernels... yes? Would you prefer that the overworked maintainers write them twice in two completely different languages? Look at RHEL 9. That shipped with kernel 5.14. For companies that are getting newer hardware or want capabilities that aren't available in 5.14, what do you think they would be paying for?
