k0s ships another four-branch patch round, with an IPv6 service CIDR fix on 1.37 and 1.36.

◆Current state
On November 3 k0s released v1.37.2, 1.36.6, 1.35.10 and 1.34.13 within minutes of each other. The 1.37 and 1.36 releases remove a size limit on IPv6 service CIDRs and update containerd to 2.3.6; 1.37.2 also bumps kine, ORAS and troubleshoot. The 1.35 and 1.34 branches take only Kubernetes patch updates.
◆Where it's heading
k0s now maintains four branches on a shared patch cadence, roughly one coordinated round a week after the 1.37 line opened on October 27. Fixes and dependency updates land on the newest two branches, while older ones receive only Kubernetes patches, which indicates where active support is concentrated.
◆Prediction
Expect the next coordinated round to follow upstream Kubernetes patch releases, with 1.34 likely to stop receiving updates as 1.37 matures.

    1.37.2 lifts the IPv6 service CIDR size limit

    The second 1.37 release removes the IPv6 service CIDR size limit and moves to Kubernetes 1.37.2 and containerd 2.3.6. It is routine for a new branch but fixes a real constraint for IPv6 clusters.
