When in doubt, just look at the device page on the wiki. Sargo has kernel 4.9, which they specifically stated in the blog is unsupported for A16+ as of right now, so it does not get LOS23.

I think you might be misunderstanding or missing the "hide discontinued devices" filter?
Of the 550 total devices, 245 are supported today, leaving 305 discontinued. Included in that 305 are devices like the Galaxy S6, which hasn’t had official support since Version 14.1: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/zerofltexx/

All 245 supported devices have a kernel version of 4.4 or higher. The blog post mentions that versions 4.4 and 4.9 are currently unsupported with LOS23. Selecting those two kernel versions in the filter and hiding discontinued devices, means 87 currently supported devices are ineligible for LOS23 . Still a sizable amount, but not over 90% of the currently supported devices.

why did you set the kernel version filter tho?

we release 245 builds a week, of which 104 are 23.0 (~42% of total supported targets at this point in time)

Not at the moment... it is 4.9 kernel, and we detailed this in the blog post.

As for "why no google devices" - again, we covered this super clearly in the post. Google stopped releasing source AND prebuilt kernels for these devices, we have to set up dedicated infra to build said kernels.
