[Christian Ehrhardt <2125001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, for a late FFE we'd need to invoke (subscribe) the release team.

And present the build and code (you have that in the PPA and MR) as well
as the changelog and why it should be safe.

So overall I see a lot of general Kernel compatibility with 6.15/6.16 and newer is good and a highly required bugfix or interface toleration support or whatever you'd call it :-)
You'd wish we could even have 6.17 already :-)

But there are also a few new decodings of syscalls which make it much
better and useful with new kernels, but can be considered feature adds.
The new -N option is opt-in and thereby also kind of safe.

IMHO Kind of safe but that is why this is a true FFE, we need the
release teams call and hence I'll subscribe them.
