It’s really uncommon to have such a delay for the first patch, 4.23 was released 1.5 month ago, we’re already halfway to the 4.24 release. We should actually have preview versions soon, especially that some PRs are already committed to 4.25 instead of 4.24, so they might already have a feature freeze for 4.24. I don’t know why patching the current version for decent usability doesn’t deserve priority over implementing new features for the next versions.
