Working well enough. I tossed a bit of load at it and created :

enceladus$ cat /proc/version
Linux version 5.7.0-rc1 (root@enceladus) (gcc version 9.3.0 (Debian 
9.3.0-10), GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.34) #1 SMP Sun Apr 19 
20:10:43 UTC 2020
enceladus$

The whole process went smooth and no surprises at all.
