Kernel 7.2.15 closes the stable 7.2 series
Kernel 7.2.15 is the final release in the 7.2.y series, which has reached end of life. The announcement advises migrating to the 7.3.y series.
On November 1, 2026, the release of kernel 7.2.15, containing some updates, was announced. The announcement identifies it as the final release in the 7.2.y series and says that branch has reached end of life; the recommendation is to migrate to 7.3.y.
The series ended earlier than usual. The maintainer cited the current release cycle and the number of pending stable patches: maintaining eight branches at once would be demanding, so the team preferred to focus on the newer 7.3.y series. To verify the details and included updates, consult the original release announcement and compare it with the notes and branch status maintained by the kernel project.
