Kude kube ukuhanjiswa kwangaphambili Sixele iindaba ezincinci malunga nohlobo lwangoku lophuhliso lwe Linux kernel. Kwi-RC ezine, eyona nto ibalulekileyo kukuba eyesine inyukile ngobukhulu, kodwa yayiqhelekile kuba ukunyuka kwakuyinto engekhoyo kwiveki ephelileyo. Kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, nge-13 kaSeptemba, uLinus Torvalds waphosa I-Linux 5.9-rc5 ayikuko ukuba zininzi iindaba, kodwa ixele into ekufuneka ilungisiwe.
Utata weLinux uthi ngeli xesha olona tshintsho lubaluleke kakhulu kwi-diffstat kukuba babuye umva ngokufuduswa kwe-i915 ebibangela iingxaki, ukongeza kulungiso oluthile lwe-kernel yomlawuli. Emva kwexesha, kufutshane nesiphelo se-imeyile kwaye njengokuyinika ukubaluleka okuncinci, uTorvalds ukwakhankanya oko Kukho ukubuyela umva ekusebenzeni, kodwa uyayijonga kwaye uyibona njengesiqhelo. Uvalo aluthethi ukuba akaze afumane, nangona ekhathazeka ngayo yonke into eyenzekayo kwilizwe langaphandle.
I-Linux 5.9-rc5 nayo ayifiki ngeendaba ezibalaseleyo

Abasebenzisi abanomdla wokuyonwabela xa kufika ixesha, into endingazange ndiyicebise ngokobuqu kuba ndikhetha ukusebenzisa uguqulelo lwekernel endilunikwayo, kuya kufuneka lenze ufakelo lwencwadana. Olunye ukhetho esihlala "silucebisa" kukufaka i-kernel entsha usebenzisa isixhobo se-Ukuu, esinokuthi senze kuyo "iDowngrade" xa sinengxaki.
