CentOS Frankenkernel: Append Your Limb
summary
CentOS Stream kernel is literally stitched from different upstream versions so the package mixes v5.14 core with drivers from v6.3 and v5.19 and still ships as one RPM tree. Workflow requires one Upstream commit per CentOS commit, mandatory Bugzilla links and C O O signoffs, automated pipelines including CKI and Linux Network Stack tests, handling 149 merge requests in flight, and custom tooling like clap and reviewmatic to manage dependencies and reviews.
