Someone need to be the first to take the hit, and apparently Ubuntu volunteered

They're doing it precisely so they can identify shortcomings and bugs. This is expected and good.

It's expected. Good is an entirely different issue. More permissively licenced core components is 100% a bad thing

I don't follow, can you explain why?

Indeed. They knew there was risk associated with this, which is why they didn't just plop it into the LTS release. If it isn't working acceptably by the 26.04 release window, it'll just get reverted.

Seriously, topic like this are either commented as:

1. This is an inevitable problem that is being handled in a sensible manner by competent engineers.

2. X company is stupid and their engineers are stupid only someone as smart as I would be capable of doing it right

It tells a lot about the mental maturity of each participant. Not a single comment is "Maybe I don't know enough about this to voice an informed opinion", although that's probably a good indiucator.

Real good example is the comments on the article itself:

https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/phoronix/latest-phoron...

Where it seems like text based forums using upvotes/likes or reactions encourages those who are less inquisitive and/or humble to take up a lot of the atmosphere.

It got me thinking that the internet today has more people on it but fewer forums to engage with technical topics in depth.

Survivorship bias.

That's why I always run x.04 LTS Ubuntu editions and not x.10 for critical stuff.
