The feature is in for private testing. My understanding is that commits with flavors will be allowed to head starting in 2018, so the first quarterly with flavors in it should happen for 2018Q2. But, being the feature in by 2018Q1 backported updates may include flavors. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
