I agree that WPA3 support may not be critical for 19.07. However, we
announced it would be the last release which includes support for 4/32
devices (which anyway are not very suitable for WPA3) and many
firmware projects downstream are awaiting at least a release-candidate
to work with for a while now...


Just my 2 cents...


Cheers
