I wonder what sort of issues are they facing with 3.5 that it takes them so long to at least put it in the preview channel.

Great question feels like it's been forever people have been talking about 3.5 but it is a pretty substantial update. Heres hoping SMT-Disabled Performance Improvements arent problematic becuase thats what I'm most looking forward to so emulators see a boost to performance.
3.5 is a huge update, is just rather they shipped smaller parts of it more frequently.
I don't think it's possible to move to a new kernel version in smaller steps.
3.5 includes a ton of new stuff, and I'm assuming it's not all kernel based. Things like the saturation slider for example.
Every time I try 3.5 I experience frequent crashes. So something is still unstable about it. And finding seemingly random instabilities is really hard and time consuming.
