You're right, I'm on:

Terminal

xbian@xbian ~ $ uname -a
Linux xbian 4.19.75+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Sep 24 14:59:43 CEST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

Do you know what happened to not have it? Is it something only related to xbian or the mainstream kernel did not include it?

Also, do you know what timeframe the .80+ kernel will be put to the default (non-staging) repo?

Thanks again!

No, it simply was not enabled in the kernel config

The reason why new kernel is still in staging is, that this kernel is built for running on Pi2 - Pi4, which is another step to provide one image for Pi2-Pi4

Thanks!

Sorry for my ignorance regarding that, but can I only update the new kernel in staging without updating everything else? In other words, is the new kernel *not* backward compatible with packages in the release repo?

Thanks!
