nothing is amiss Martin.
We put out a patch release of LaTeX containing a hotfix for a (actually
minor) issue: rollback was not working between now and 2023-06.
While doing this we also decided to put out a firstaid for arydshln
package because we have been unable to contact the author so far.
The rollback is not relevant for the -dev release and the arydshln
firstaid is of minor importance and does not warrant to put the CTAN
folks through an unnecessary cycle of installing a -dev release,
especially when we are planning another one before the TUG conference,
i.e., in a week or two.
So all is fine, and yes, there can be cases after PL releases that -dev
both in front as well as lagging behind
