Testing with up-to-date distros is trivial, when I can rebuild the
containers.
I've already got "CI: Fixes, part 2" and "part 3" in progress, hoping to
post today, all for 4.19.
What matters, specifically for 4.19 at this point, is that we put in
place testing such that {staging,stable}-4.19 branches are tested
suitably after release.
It would be really embarrassing for the Xen 4.19 release if it didn't
work with e.g. Ubuntu Noble.
