Linux kernel 4.5.5 is here, one week after the release of Linux kernel 4.5.4, which was just about to be adopted by some of the rolling GNU/Linux operating systems using a kernel from the 4.5 branch, including the popular Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed. So, now that Linux kernel 4.5.5 is out, they can skip it and push this new maintenance release to the stable channels for users to upgrade as soon as possible.
