I can go either way. It depends on whether you want to prioritize adding OS support versus new features. If you want a shiny new release for the interop event I would say go with a 4.17-1 that adds the new OS'. Then you can switch to 5.1 which will probably have an RC right around that time. It should also help us get RHEL 8.0 / SLES 15.1 like you mentioned.
