I believe 6.1 is the time to resume backports of btrfs-progs, but I'll
upload 6.0 now, because it will take time for it to be accepted.  -progs
6.1 will migrate to testing in four days and will then become eligible
for backporting.  Linux-6.1 is still in experimental, and I'm not sure
what its ETA is for unstable->testing->backports.  In my opinion, for
btrfs, that's the first version that represents an unquestionable
upgrade from 5.10.  Of course, hardware-enablement is something else
entirely, and there's not much room for choice in this case ;)
