Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Packages are wrongly flagged all the time, no need to open bug reports for that

A little late for that. 22.0.0 is already in testing: https://archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/mesa/

:)
There is nothing wrong with having Mesa development release 22.0.0 in testing. :)

In fact it does belong there, as testers can now try it out and report any issues if they arise to upstream.
But it's important to know that it is not meant to be a stable release.
No matter how lovely its version number looks. :)

I intend to test it soon on my laptop with Intel Broadwell iGPU,
though I'd love  FS#74091  to be implemented first for Vulkan 1.3 compatibility. (It's only logical :D :)

@jonathon, [mesa] and [lib32-mesa] should be unflagged, as 21.3.7 is still the current stable version.
