Its nice they patched this, but isn’t the surface area pretty small if you don’t use it with a networking stack?

I’m also questioning why they need to update to 6.x in the first place.

Kernels very often have file system changes, makes sense that gparted would stay at the forefront of filesystem tech.

Well, that’s just so they stay on top of Filesystem support. GParted is my go-to rescue tool for even Windows fuckups
