I guess merge-reqs to kernel-ark > are not an option since that will be tracking 5.12 at that point. In theory, there will be a fedora-5.11 branch in kernel-ark which tracks Greg's linux-5.11.y tree. But Greg needs to create the tree first. There may be some growing pains as this is the first release we are doing this on. If that tree is not working by the time RC2 is out or you want to submit, an email to the list is fine.
