You're asking a wrong question by now.

As you might have noticed, I already uploaded 4.19.0 to unstable.  Unlike with all previous
releases in debian which were uploaded to experimental first, due to a number of reasons,
and were faced unstable at release .1 or up only.

I'm not saying 4.19 is more stable than experimental, but let's give it a try in unstable
first and see how it goes.  Next we can decide if it's okay to have 4.19.0 in bookworm-
backports or it will be 4.19.10.

If you really want 4.19.0 on bookqworm or even bullseye *now* to try freshest functionality,
you can grab binaries from my repository - it has 4.19.0 since yesterday.  Just don't forget
to switch to bpo12 once version wanted by you is in there.
