CTOnews.com announced on January 13 that support for Linux Kernel 6.0 has been discontinued. Currently, Linux 6.0 has been marked EOL (End of Life) on the kernel.org official website, which means that the official team is no longer maintaining the kernel version.

CTOnews.com mini-class: Linux Kernel 6. 0 will be released on October 2, 2022. Version 6.0 has a total of 15k non-merge submissions, which is one of the versions with a large number of submissions.

Linux Kernel 6.0 mainly supports NVMe in-band authentication, PCI bus supporting OpenRISC and LoongArch architectures, asynchronous buffering writes when using XFS and io_uring, and io_uring zero-copy network transmission support.

Linux Kernel 6. 0 is a short-term branch, not a LTS (long-term support) branch, which means it has a lifespan of only a few months. Today, with the 6.0.19 update, the life cycle of Linux kernel 6. 0 ends, which is the last stable version of the series.
