If that's the proposal then your [1/2] should have had a cc:stable and
changelog words describing the plan for 6.0.

But before we do that I'd like to see at least a prototype of the final
fixes to s390 and hugetlb, so we can assess those as preferable for
backporting. I don't think they'll be terribly intrusive or risky?
