Why couldn't it be 6.7, which has bcachefs?
It's initial bcachefs anyway, which doesn't support all features yet and still needs a lot of work. I wouldn't run bcachefs yet on any system where an LTS kernel is necessary.
Cuz 6.6.6 is coming 😈
So is christmas
Same
typically it's based on the last kernel release of the year which gets promoted to LTS, not because of certain features
What is the use case for bcachefs? ZFS exists and btrfs if you need to froth over licencing
Faster or something. I am personally peeved they took the tiered storage thing out of it because in my eyes that was it’s claim to fame

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.
