I’m one of the developers here. It’s quite common for distros that use non-LTS kernels to ship kernel versions that are already EOL. Fedora, for example, currently ships kernel 7.2 as well.
As for the delay, you can see from @eleijeep@piefed.social’s comment that we need to ensure the OS is stable enough before release. It took us a week to resolve the compatibility issue between kernel 7.2 and our ABRoot, which was preventing the system from upgrading. We shipped the earlier snapshot rather than 7.2.15 just because it’s better tested.
