Current situation

Currently, the alpha/beta/stable branches have the same LTS Linux Kernel: 6.6.y.

Impact

we should be able have at least the alpha/main branch with a newer stable kernel to be able to prevent sudden lot of work when a new LTS appears and fix any issues gradually.
Testing all the branches with the same kernel might not show transient or hard to reproduce issues.

Ideal future situation

According to today's https://www.kernel.org/, the latest stable is 6.10.y (a good target to move to).
