...and "make oldconfig" didn't show any config changes from 6.11.
Linux kernel numbering:
x.y.z.
x is the major release
y is the minor revision
z is the patch number
So long term kernel 4.19.322 went thru a LOT of minor revisions and patches before it was released.
Patch 322 alone had 97 commits. So possibly 10s of thousands of commits between minor revisions.

How's that same size possible, with all that new code (not all commits are added code obviously, so there must have been a LOT of fixes)?
