Linuxephus I wasn't aware that core dumps were intentionally disabled for the LTS or Current Kernels. Sounds like a handful even at the best of times for one sole Community Member maintaining both kernels.
Kernel maintenance is the easiest duty I have next to maybe mesalib updates. Don't worry about it.
Linuxephus Regarding regressions previously spoken of for the LTS Kernel: I reference the LTS Kernel as "stable by design" upon the merit of that same long-term support kernel being a product of a life cycle management policy resulting in a stable release of computer software that is maintained for a longer period of time than the mainline kernel itself where the tenets of reliable engineering are applied to the software development process (referencing the LTS Kernel). By definition, that is intended to be stable by design. Even with regressions, despite the "mine field" that regressions in software may have. It's an absolute and even inherent in software development, true. Yet does it remain reliable enough to be productively used for the long-term in a majority of applicable scenarios. And lest you forget young man, you and other maintainers such as you are precisely why that work is performed to "stabilize" the like of which when those regressions make themselves known.
I can't even being to piece together why you feel the need to explain this to me. I am intimately familiar with software development and engineering processes. The purpose of an LTS kernel is to act as a stable snapshot of the kernel, to minimize the amount of downstream testing between updates for systems where stability is the most important factor. The purpose of mainline kernels is to allow for new software features and hardware support to be introduced in a staggered manner, maximizing the amount of real-world testing between LTS releases, so that the next LTS has a chance at being remotely stable. Neither of these goals are guarantees, and they frequently fail to deliver. We have held back our LTS kernel for a very long time precisely because newer LTS kernels were NOT stable or had bugs that were not corrected during mainline development. We have also frequently held back the mainline kernel because of bugs that should have been caught during the RC phase, making it all the way to a full release.
The reliability you perceive from either of these kernels on Solus is 100% the result of testing done by our unstable users before landing in the next sync and is also the direct result of my attention to bug reports from other distros and on the LKML. There are many times we have reverted kernels in Unstable so that normal users will never notice and that has nothing to do with upstream efforts.
