I would expect that tracking the Linux kernel master just 4 weeks behind is going to cause more cases where, combined with enterprise software of typical quality, you'd need vendor support than with the RH way of changing as little as possible for as long as possible. And support is exactly what Oracle sells.

To be clear, I only used Oracle Linux briefly while playing with the free tier of Oracle Cloud.

Edit: sorry, but I don't get it, please break it down for me. Latest UEK 7 is based off 5.15 LTS ( https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/uek/ ), that puts them at branching off a kernel released on 2021-10-31 (according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history#R... ). How is that even remotely 4 weeks behind master?!

Edit 2: my bad, I didn't read the "behind the tip of the LTS tree" part carefully. So, the difference is that Oracle tries to ship all LTS kernel updates, while RH tries to cherry-pick critical security and bug fixes only?
