> We discussed this internally yesterday. Ultimate goal seems to be to have this
in Focal for the next point release. Given the size of changes we would only
pull this into Groovy for next cycle. If all goes well and no negative impact is
visible, we would follow up with Focal for the first cycle next year which
otherwise tries to be minimal for the Focal point release. But then it should be
more minimal in the sense of risk.
