release candidate Linux 5.10 is a bigger kernel release than expected and sees the removal of setf_fs() October 26, 2020 https://betanews.com/2020/10/26/linux-5-10-kernel-release/
It's probably not worth to post here about release candidates, because usually there are around 7 rc published before final kernel release. It means that 5.10 is expected to be released around mid-December. Anyway Linux 5.10 will be interesting release for consumers, because there are improvements for hibernation, ext4 filesystem performance in some use-cases and even memory allocation for GPUs. Linux 5.10 will be a LTS release.
Linux 5.10 LTS is here as a significant kernel update December 14, 2020 https://betanews.com/2020/12/14/linux-5-10-lts-released/
There were some important fixes for Device Mapper, F2FS allowing creating files with the same name in same directory in 5.10.1 - 5.10.3. I even saw some claims about 5.10.1 corrupting file F2FS systems. I still stick to 5.9.* series until things get tested in downstream distributions and everything settle down. Anyway Con Kolivas released updated MuQSS patchset for 5.10 Linux kernel. https://ck-hack.blogspot.com/2020/12/linux-510-ck1-muqss-version-0205-for.html
