Proxmox 8.1/Kernel 6.5.x Minor Updates -- How often do new minor point releases get released for the kernel? (e.g., 6.5.13_MINOR)

Hello,

I just noticed there are several new versions of the 6.5.13_x versions in the pvetest repo. I'm testing the SR-IOV DKMS for Intel Alder Lake iGPUs, and it apparently requires one o the minor variants in the test repo.

I've realized that I don't really understand how the really minor updates (the ones listed after the underscore) work.

I assume they indicate builds where certain bugfixes are being tested, and thus you can have several in the testing repo that never hit enterprise. When do they qualify for enterprise release?
