It means that Linux is holding off for a few days on starting the 6.6 release cycle, so that late issues can possibly be fixed before everyone's focus is captured again by the next release.

Usually that means awaiting the build results and self-tests from the distributions (although many will have already done that on the -rc kernels).

I don't know. But my feeling is rather few people test. Of course there is some automatic testing. That probably continues until the next rc1 is out?
