Even if it’s just a release candidate, I'm wondering how this change might affect desktop users. Could this mean fewer boot issues? I ran into an issue booting from a live usb where the kernel version didn't properly support my ZFS setup, leading to a system hang during startup and was wondering if an RC kernel was even needed for desktop use.
