Please review this set of patches for kirkstone and have comments back by
end of day Friday.
I'd particularly like feedback on the security/bug fix version updates
at the end of this series.

In the past I took these only on request.

Would people like me to be more proactive on this type of upgrade
(such as this series), or should I continue to take them only on
request?
Proactive but reasonably cautious. ;-)
That's my feeling too.

Passed a-full on autobuilder:

   linux-firmware: upgrade 20220310 -> 20220411

It's firmware so it should be fine but I don't know much about such things. 
Have  firmware updates ever broken older kernels?
Certainly there could be performance degradation. I guess it's a release note 
item for others to worry about.
I've been doing these regularly for dunfell and it hasn't been an
issue in the past two years.
As expected but that's good to hear.

   libsoup: upgrade 3.0.5 -> 3.0.6
   apt: upgrade 2.4.3 -> 2.4.4
   libusb1: upgrade 1.0.25 -> 1.0.26
   libgit2: upgrade 1.4.2 -> 1.4.3

zhengruoqin (3):
   wireless-regdb: upgrade 2022.02.18 -> 2022.04.08
   git: upgrade 2.35.2 -> 2.35.3
   ruby: upgrade 3.1.1 -> 3.1.2
These all seem like bug fix only updates.
Are you assuming that third number updates don't change API/ABI or looking at 
commit summaries, git logs, or using a tool?
Yes, my criteria for including is that they are bug/security only updates.

I don't assume anything from the version number, I review the release
notes (if any) and the git logs.  In many cases the version updates in
master don't include this info in the commit message.  In that case I
add either the release notes or the git log to the commit message when
cherry-picking from master.
That's great. The only better response would be if we could run API/ABI test. I'll see if that's something that we can work on for release branches but no promises

or timeline for that so far.



So it is a time consuming manual process :-)


It is; thanks for the careful work.



BTW, those who include release notes or commit logs in their version
bumps get smiles and brownie points from me!
