Good question. I don’t really know for sure.

Is this change important enough to be included in Whonix 10 stable release? Currently I am preparing a testers-only release of 10.0.0.5.0.

Every additional testers-only release generates a lot work on my side.

painfully merge git submodules into the Whonix 10 branch

tag the updated package

tag a new release

build, test new images

compress images which feels like taking hours

upload new images which takes hours

update Whonix News files with new blessed version numbers

update APT repository

write a blog post, call for another round of testing

and make sure, I don’t mess up anything along that way

Also depends on how many issues are reported against 10.0.0.5.0. If another testers-only round is required, then the effort is better justified.

If Whonix 11 is early enough, than any time before Whonix 11 would work.

Otherwise I guess one or two weeks for giving users time to test 10.0.0.5.0 before proceeding further, so I can merge it before then, before the next testers-only release [that may be blessed stable after testing].
