Comment 4 for bug 1758199

> We've been testing with the 3.1.0~rc2 version in Debian/testing, but if you want the final 3.1.0 release in bionic, I can do that update.

I think it's really about whether you want it in Bionic. If you do, you'll need to sell your case to the release team and ask specifically for a feature freeze exception here.
