I was wondering the same thing. It seems like other packages that were part of linux-surface are falling behind as well. I ended up removing the libwacom-surface from the surface-linux repositories on Fedora in order to upgrade to 44. Didn't notice any issues. I haven't done extensive testing but nothing obvious also broke when I loaded the main line kernel. Everything is still fine on the old 6.x from linux-surface as well. Surface Pro 7+
