Superseded branches stay alive: one x86 MODRM fix landed on the 2.40, 2.42 and 2.43 branches on the same day in May 2025. So upgrades within a major.minor are stable point upgrades per the OE-Core stable release policy (ref-manual, "Stable Point Release Upgrades"). This is not spelled out in a policy document, so qualification rests on the branch structure and the release contents below. https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/ref-manual/release-process.html#stable-point-release-upgrades https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/binutils-2_46-branch Checked the last two point releases. 2.46.1 (Jun 08 2026) is 137 commits, mostly automatic version-string date bumps, with six substantive changes, all fixes: gprof testsuite, build warnings, an sframe encoder/decoder call-site fix, a DOS-filesystem fix and two linker fixes. 2.45.1 (Nov 10 2025) is aarch64/gas fixes to incorrectly restricted instruction encodings, linker metadata fixes adding GLIBC_ABI_*_TLS version dependencies to match glibc's own ABI tags, and libctf, strip and warning fixes. Neither adds options or instruction support. Already tracked this way on the OE stable branches, counting only bumps since each branch forked: kirkstone has five or more "binutils: stable 2.38 branch update(s)" commits staying within 2.38.x, scarthgap the same for 2.42.x, and wrynose has already taken 2.46.1.
