It's in NEW now, waiting to get accepted in unstable.

What you can do is build some packages from the master branch and test them.

I'll be reorganizing my notes and todo list next tuesday.

I guess the next big thing (tm) that we have to get clear is which list
of things we want to see happen still before buster release.

There might be more new stuff (tm) but there are also many interesting
but seemingly boring things of course that very much could use help like
testing upgrade scenarios. Take a machine with stretch, Xen 4.8 and some
domUs and then upgrade it to buster with Xen 4.11.

Or, the opposite scenario, see if we can create some kind of 4.12
preview packages and then try to upgrade from 4.11 to 4.12, so we know
if there's something that will obviously break in the future that we can
still fix before it goes stable.
