Even Phoronix articles are starting to sound frustrated about this, damn
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mesa 23.2 was supposed to be released as stable in August but that lapsed after a five week hiatus compared to the usual weekly release candidates.
Two weeks later Mesa 23.2-rc3 remains the latest version and no word when the -rc4 will arrive let alone final.
At this point it's possible Mesa 23.2 stable won't be out until Q4.
It's unfortunate for the autumn Linux distribution releases that wait for the Mesa 3D stable releases to debut before pulling them in, such as jeopardizing Ubuntu 23.10 now for including Mesa 23.2.
Mesa 23.2 does have many new graphics driver features but the usual release management stumble.
The Mesa 23.1 series continues to be managed by Eric Engestrom.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
