Yes, they do.<br>
<br>
For Xen 4.8 and 4.11, we're currently waiting for the related changes in<br>
the upstream code branches to complete the regular test process at Xen<br>
(compile, run on all different hardware etc).<br>
<br>
Only at the moment that the advisary is published, the patches are<br>
committed to the public development branches. After that, the tests do<br>
more rigorous regression testing than the developer writing them could<br>
do. We tend to wait for this to succeed. E.g. as part of the packaging<br>
team, I can test that the result boots on amd64, but I have no idea<br>
myself if it also runs on arm etc.<br>
<br>
If you're desperately in need for an intermediate version, and you're<br>
able to build debian packages yourself, then I can point you at<br>
something that I'm running myself now.<br>
