This was a bit smaller development cycle with around 1000 changes all

  - binutils 2.39 added, binutils 2.38 is now the default
  - gdb 12 added, gdb 11 is now the default
  - support for 5.18, 5.19 and 6.0 kernel headers
  - glibc updated to 2.36

- Filesystem:
  - Ability to use dracut to create an initramfs that contains a
    subset of the root filesystem contents.

- New packages: agent-proxy, catatonit, cni-plugins, crun, docopt-cpp,
  dracut, forge, kmemd, libmanette, mdio-tools, open-isns,
  python-editables, python-hatch-fancy-pypi-readme, python-hatch-vcs,
  python-hatchling, python-libevdev, python-minimalmodbus,
  python-pathspec, qt6-serialport, rtl8192eu, signal-estimator,
  slirp4netns, tinycompress

- Removed packages: libdcadec, rabbitmq-server

- Removed defconfigs: Amarule a64 relic, ARM Juno, Bananapi M1 / M1 plus
  / M2 plus / M64, FriendlyARM NanoPC T4 / A64 / M1 / M1 plus / M4 /
  Neo2 / Neo4 / Neo plus2 / R1 / Orangepi PC2 / Plus / Prime / rk3399 /

release, which will be supported until April 2024.

FOSDEM is again back as an on-site event in 2023, so we will have our usual
