I suggest we wait for nobse to announce this.
One thing I would like to suggest though: can we use bpo.1 instead
of bpo1? Not that it really makes a difference, I just find it less
cluttered and thus easier to read when you're dealing with pages
full of text and dozens of machines.

Thank you, Joerg!
