I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this to you before, but to be clear to everybody I'll state it in public here: we currently trust the kernel maintainers to make the right decision until (around) the full freeze
under the condition that they consider the following:
* would you propose the same for a point release?
* if activity in the archive on the d-i front is ongoing or expected
check with d-boot.
That means, I still would like to merge the next stable releases. The
latest point, depending on d-i planning would probably be sometime in
the week of the 15th may for a last upload targetting bookworm.
Open is how we handle #1033058. We added the patch from Cyril, but
this got rejected upstream. I think it would be better to not diverge
for too long from upstream, but AFAIK there was no progress on "the
real fix". Should we revert but then have a regression for the ppc6el installer? Would that be affordable given the non-graphical installer
AFAIU still works? Cyril, what is your prefered take on this?
One question is how to handle (if some arise) severe security fixes
needed for src:linux in the time were we should not upload. I was
thinking if necessary to use bookworm-security for this already then
and not influencing any d-i work further. Cyril, what do you think? It
is really meant just in case we *need* to have an update, my prefered
way would be to not have to. What about updates with ABI bumps?
So in short: I propose (depending on concrete d-i plannings) to make
last possible upload latest in the week of 15th May. Open is what we
still would like to include.
With the planned release date for 2023-06-10 and dates around that as announced by the release time it's time to clarify some last work for src:linux to be targeted for bookworm.
Additionally to that there are some requests which are still okay to
be included for bookworm: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/710
which Ben already stated to be wanted in bookworm.
HW support from Aurelien in https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/711
Are we yet missing anything crucial for the release?

Not crucial of course but I'd really like to get this hardware support patch in, if at all possible. Sorry for the last minute request! https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/712
