PHB timeline actually would have an rc8 for 5.11, which I don't
expect, but even without that, it is expecting no rc8 for 5.12, so if
we had no rc8 for either, the earliest we would see 5.12 is
2021-04-25.  If something pops up this week and we end up with an rc8
for both 5.11 and 5.12 it could be as late as 2021-05-09.   In either
case, the preferred target date for F34 is 2021-04-20, and the slip
date is 2021-04-27.  There is no way we can get 5.12 final there.
