Support interim ubuntu releases for kernel snaps
Metadata
Current evaluation
Triaged enhancement to let kernel snaps use interim build-bases such as ubuntu@24.10 with backward compatibility and an experimental warning; current validation still only accepts core24, core26, and devel.
Suggested action: keep open
Reason: The enhancement has a clear target syntax and an explicit experimental-warning requirement, while current _BaselessProject validation still limits kernel projects to core24, core26, and devel. PR #4914 is only a cited proof of concept and cannot be used directly; #5015 has since landed through #5111 and #4921 is closed, so the original interdependencies are no longer preventing implementation.
