... aaaaand you did copy me.  gmail sucks at showing me the headers
and I just got off 27 hours of planes,
so sorry about the noise.

I also meant to say, if someone wants to update poky-tiny to use 4.19
(it wouldn't be a huge effort, but
there's probably some config wrangling needed), I would definitely be
willing to remove 4.18 from master.
It will definitely be gone after the upcoming release.
