Absolutely not. However, to clarify my plan:
- what is now kvm/queue and has been reviewed will graduate to kvm/next in a couple of days, and then to 5.12-rc1. Ben's patches are already in kvm/queue, but there's no problem in waiting another week before moving them to kvm/next because it's not enabled by default. (Right now even CET is in kvm/queue, but it will not move to kvm/next until bare metal support is in).
- if this will not have been tested by Red Hat QE by say 5.12-rc3, I would enable it in kvm/next instead, and at that point the target would become the 5.13 merge window (and release).
