amazingly all is true: fresh Slackware 14.2 installation and up to date Slackware-14.2 build/boot kernels 5.11.x. and anything after that of course until kernel build requirements will exceed what's Slackware-14.2 has to offer.
Distribution: Slackware64-current with "True Multilib" and KDE4Town.

The Linux Kernel Archive by Thread message board stopped updating at 13:30 EST yesterday, 23 March 2021.
It didn't come back to life until a new weekly archive was started at midnight. Whatever was posted during those 10-1/2 hours was lost into the ether.
A pattern seems to be developing here.
