I’m not sure what you are asking, what does “guise” mean?

“guys” perhaps. Just guessing if not disguised.
That was a typo.
So what is the question?
Are you asking if a 7.1 kernel is available whilst posting a screenshot of 7.1.3 being offered to you in dnf?
Yes. Updated to the latest and all is good.
You should update every week or two. The stable kernels are tested.
@theprogram made the point, but at least at the moment, I would go even one step ahead and say do kernel updates at the best daily. This kernel is a well example for the current situation: 7.1.3 solves a major vulnerability. If you have the means, it is generally a good idea to do all updates daily.
The easiest is always to do just dnf update, but if you want to do a minimalist approach and do “everything” only weekly, you might consider to still do daily something like …
dnf update --security; dnf update kernel* → every kernel contains security updates, but it is not possible to mark every kernel as security critical, as the information often cannot be disclosed in advance (also to protect users). Also, due to the complexity, it is not realistic to know of all kernel patches if and how far they can have a security implication.
There is one minor glitch:
clocksource: Watchdog remote CPU 5 read timed out
Probably related to https://lkml.org/lkml/2026/2/2/197. I’m sure this has been/will be tweaked once there is enough data available from the field.
$ modinfo ntfs
modinfo: ERROR: Module ntfs not found.
Fedora didn’t include updated ntfs driver for kernel 7.1
Yes, I just updated my OS, and everything is working well
I just experienced an entire GUI freeze with 7.1.3-200.
This is the 3rd time having issues since installing Fedora KDE about 6 months ago.
No big deal. If it happens again, I am simply going to boot into a previous Kernel and wait until an updated version comes out. That’s what I did with the previous Kernel Problems.
You can improve the chances that a fix wii appear quickly if you can capture details in the journal.
Anyone with the issue needs to report it. Otherwise it remains arbitrary if and when it is solved 
It is entirely possible that you always run into the same bug, but that this bug is not triggered with each kernel. So I can only suggest to open a topic about it in kernel and add logs and elaborations 
just a thought

Unfortunately OpenZFS, which I run on my root disk, doesn’t have a release that officially supports 7.1.x yet. It does seem to work with the 2.4.2 but then DNF keeps throwing errors that the release isn’t compatible (as the ZFS package has a restriction on > 7.0.999.
7.1.3 has been running with zero drama for me so far with GNOME.
Isn’t that always the case with OpenZFS, that it support for a new kernel take a while after the kernel is release upstream? So no surprise I assume.

I put this to the water cooler it’s not about a specific technical problem to solve anyway but if and why and when to update
