I could apply up to 05/21 of v6 and did some quick tests under
Fedora (where Noto CJK VF fonts are installed).

At 3/21, "./scripts/check-variable-fonts.sh" doesn't say a word.

At 4/21, "./scripts/check-variable-fonts.py" complains:

=============================================================================
XeTeX is confused by "variable font" files listed below:
    /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-sans-cjk-vf-fonts/NotoSansCJK-VF.ttc
    /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-sans-mono-cjk-vf-fonts/NotoSansMonoCJK-VF.ttc
    /usr/share/fonts/google-noto-serif-cjk-vf-fonts/NotoSerifCJK-VF.ttc

For CJK pages in PDF, they need to be hidden from XeTeX by denylisting.
Or, CJK pages can be skipped by uninstalling texlive-xecjk.

For more info on denylisting, other options, and variable font, see header
comments of scripts/check-variable-fonts.py.
=============================================================================

Of course, I have followed the suggestions in the header comments.

So I have to NAK on 4/21.
