In other words, over the next ~10 weeks, Linus' kernel tree and Dave Miller's net.git tree will fill up with nice stabilization patches. At the end of that process, 5.6 will be released. At that time, our backports to older kernels (wireguard-linux-compat) will also become a "1.0". This also lines up with the 20.04 LTS release and such.
