Tested on an amd64 laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 1). Working well, no
regressions observed.

However, I'm curious about what's happening with 6.1.y and the "CrackArmor"
AppArmor fixes. As far as I can tell, they're still not in 6.1.168-rc1
(and presumably won't be in 6.1.168). Assuming it's not too early to talk
about it in public yet, where does this stand? Is it just a matter of
waiting a bit longer for stuff to happen behind the scenes (or for other
bugs/patches to be dealt with first), or is there something else going on
(such as a specific problem blocking it that needs to be resolved first)?
