Paolo, the power people have not used your branch yet. So you could - as an alternative also create an kvm-cap-ppc-211 branch for 5.17 and leave the s390 cap at 210. But it would be good to do something now so that we have final numbers for the caps. Either create a kvm-cap-ppc-211 branch, or merge the kvm-cap-ppc-210 branch into next and fixup the s390 cap to become 211.

This seems like a good way to reserve/merge caps: when there is a series ready for N+1, then merge window then the cap number and description could have a topic branch based on an earlier release. I'm not sure if you'd been doing that before (looks like not for the most recent few caps, at least). One thing that might improve it is if you used 5.16 as the base for the kvm-cap branch. I realise it wasn't so simple this time because 5.17-rc2 had a new cap merged. But it should be possible if all new caps took this approach. It would give the arch tree more flexibility where to base their tree on without (mpe usually does -rc2). NBD just an idea for next time. Thanks, Nick
