discussions about how many and which kernels (gentoo-sources, and

don't recall how they choose which in each series do get stabilized.
As 6.6 and 6.7 are "stable" at kernel.org, none of them will be
"stable" in Gentoo.
And clearly I'm wrong, at least partly, as 6.6.13 was just marked
stable.
The policy now as I understand it, is that the last release of the
year gets chosen as the next LTS release. This was 6.6 in 2023.
To check/confirm which branches are LTS, see
https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
I suppose it's just a presentation inconsistency. https://www.kernel.org
still shows 6.6 as stable, not yet longterm. I'm sure they will update
that eventually
