Hi Mike,
That does appear to be the current general approach, but I'd suggest
changing it.
Because in the last week before release we shouldn't be chasing new
versions of unrelated software, in my opinion.
Fortunately the switch to Ubuntu 20.04 hasn't happened yet, and is due
to be rolled out beginning November 30th
(https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1816). The CI
pipeline has a set of warnings: "##[warning]Ubuntu-latest pipelines will
use Ubuntu-20.04 soon. For more details, see
https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1816"
