No sorry! I really was joking. We have enough upstream to test all these
platforms (plus a couple more) today :-)

Yes testing stable-v4.19/v4.20 is straight forward and will work today.
I just need to go through the process of setting it up and requesting
this. However, while you were asking, I was curious if you had any idea
of the projected EOL for stable-v4.20 yet?
