Will Mesa 19.3 and Linux kernel 5.4 arrive in time for RX 5500?

I don't have experience with RX 5700 but I saw posts in Reddit about Linux gamers having stability issues with RX 5700 series.

I'm waiting for RX 5500 and I'm curious if it will have Day 1 support for Linux gaming.

My distro is Manjaro XFCE and currently on Linux 5.3 with Mesa 19.2.4.

Looks like Linux kernel 5.4 is near.

According to the release calendar, Mesa 19.3.0 isn't far off either.

I hope that RX 5500 would be priced right. The RX 550 is bad in terms of price-to-performance.
