the one and only, cant remember if it was in readme or on LQ 
... actually the changelog does _sort of_ mention it too 


"Wed Feb  2 22:22:22 UTC 2022
Slackware 15.0 x86_64 stable is released!

Another too-long development cycle is behind us after we bit off more than
we could chew and then had to shine it up to a high-gloss finish. 
Hopefully we've managed to get the tricky parts out of the way so that 
we'll be able to see a 15.1 incremental update after a far shorter 
development cycle"

Since Pat typcially has 3 RC's and freezes the tree, 15.0 RC1 was in 
August '21, RC3 locked, was in Jan '22,  working on that theory  even if 
Pat called RC1 in 5 minutes time, we wont see 15.1 until Jan '27
