Anyone happen to know what's going on with kernel.org today?
First my RSS reader thought there were some new releases, but they were old 6.15 series ones.
Then I checked the www.kernel.org - it was originally only showing outdated (no longer listed usually) kernel series, e.g. no 6.18.
Now it's gotten up to showing `longterm: 6.18.37 ...` again (after showing earlier 6.18 revisions for that), and *also* shows a `mainline: 6.18 ...` line.
7.0 and 7.1 have gone MIA.
I'm hoping this is just some backend rebuild that they've chosen/had to run on the live service... and not indicative of some compromise with bad actors trying to generate infected tar balls or the like.

@AthanSpod@social.linux.pizza > Identified - A misconfiguration while adding the new primary mirror temporarily impacted access to the kernel archives on our mirrors. A fix has been implemented, and we are currently working to restore all content. Couple of days ago, guess they're still restoring. https://status.linuxfoundation.org/
