I was on 0.8.4 and it upgraded me to 22.0.0_rc1. I have not upgraded
my pools, so I think I can go back to 0.8.4 or 5. The kernel I am
upgrading is not the running kernel, so would any of this effect my
running kernel which is 4.19.144 -- unfortunately on 2.0.0_rc1, but I
agree maybe I should mask it off and go to 0.8.5.
