This is not the live version of the release notes, which have been 
fixed: https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/

It is not enabled, that is exactly the purpose of this bug.

This is an upstream test that is failing, the issue has been reported 
here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31877

The author of the test explained it was a kernel or CPU bug, the latter 
being almost impossible as the issue is reproducible on different Intel 
and AMD CPUs. Ubuntu decided to just ignore the test.

At the end, I spend some time debugging that last week-end, and I 
believe this is a buggy test. I posted a patch, which is under review, 
let's s see if I am right. If so, we can enable the feature for glibc 
2.44 which should end up in Forky.

Regards
Aurelien
