How to get newer Xen versions on R4.0?

[Claudia]

Is there any way to get a newer Xen on the R4.0 series? Short of
building it myself, that is. Current-testing and unstable both appear
have the newest at 4.8.5-13 (current is 4.8.5-12), despite R4.1 being on
Xen 4.12. Does Qubes receive updates for newer versions of Xen? Or is
the Xen version locked in with the Qubes minor version?

BTW, I noticed 4.8 is going to lose security support at the end of this
month? https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Project_Release_Features

Is that correct? If yes, what is going to happen when Xen 4.8 is EOL? Is Qubes going to update to Xen 4.12 also in 4.0.2? Or is Qubes 4.1 going to be released for the end of the next month? Both of the hypothesis seems highly unlikely.

Thanks for your attention.
