For FRED, That's all that's out on the list.

I've got an update to 4 almost ready to post, this time getting to dev
complete.

Unfortunately, I've still not managed to get any time on real hardware
yet, so FRED will still be experimental in my series.  (The timelines
were originally compatible with Xen 4.21, but access to hardware has not
been as forthcoming as hoped.)

When I can test on real hardware, there may be bugfixes, and I may be
able to upgrade the status if we're not too far into the RCs.
