But this is not just patching the compiler used to build the kernel, it's patching the compiler available to everyone in the gcc-11 package? I may not have the full context to the fix, but this looks like it doesn't *just* change codegen for the kernel, right?
It's fine for kinetic to be deprioritised - gcc-11 is in universe rather than main there so we've already communicated a lower support level, and kinetic is already superseded - but I think we've decided that while it's OK to skip intermediate releases we want that to be an actively documented choice rather than just silently failing to fix.
