Let me point you to the message I sent following the announcement of
the availability of the first pre-release:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-12/msg00451.html

I apologize for the message about the branch being created not
but that's because these are automated, and I didn't know about
that issue at the time the branch was created.
