Yes, Fedora 37 will not EOL until November when F39 has been out for
30 days. It will certainly get 6.4, which should come out this summer.
We could probably do some hackish static link situation for Fedora 37
if necessary though.  It isn't idea, but we know it is short lived, so
I would be okay with making that work.
