For a few days now, 7.1.3 was the latest kernel.

All of a sudden,
mainline: 7.2-rc1
stable: 6.19.14

I kinda get why v7.0 was removed as EOL, but the switch back to v6.19 (as stable) is a head-scratcher. And v7.1 is gone??? That makes no sense.

currently:
archlinux core is linux-7.1.2.arch3-1
Archlinux ARM RPi-5 is still 6.18.37-1

Here are 3 screenshots from today (04 July 2026), via The Wayback Machine. Notice that it’s been steadily syncing to older but increasingly newer stable kernel versions:
