We already discussed this. 3.7.92 ISO is already out for a while now
and its pretty damn close to what is 3.8. Given that we don't have any
means of tracking if they are being used or not, I'd want
Boxes/libosinfo to recognize those ISOs. If 3.8 ISO comes out, we'll
already be able to recognize it.
