Thanks.

However, I wanted to queue this patch *after* 5.7-rc1 and so that it
lands in 5.8 and so that it has a maximum cycle in testing - well, it is
not really testing but getting more people to see it and have the chance
to complain - and not queue it now.

I did some searching on distrowatch.com last night and the couple of
distros shipping binutils 2.23 I saw, were already EOL but the search
was not exhaustive.

And from looking at your patchset, I think it should get the max time
testing in linux-next too, so that we have time to address any build
issues it might uncover.

IMO.
