It would be my guess that a different target could be more convenient,
but my GUB knowledge is close to nil.

2.19.85 is in Phil's queue (though it's a bit unclear when it will
surface) and a 2.20 window of 2 weeks was suggested by me in Salzburg
for final fixes after it's out.

And I don't want significant delay for 2.21.0 afterwards.  Does that
help you deciding on a comment?
