(Confirmed) Android 11? Is it real? - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

I'm sure we've all seen the post about the soak test version of android 11 for our device.
Here is the question- has ANYONE else seen this anywhere but here on XDA? As far as I can tell this is a unverified rumor that begins and ends here on XDA.
Please prove me wrong.

There are reports by both XDA and phonearena.com that Moto G stylus (2020), which is basically G power (2020) with better specs has just received Android 11 and Feb security patches update. If the news are true, will that mean G power is next? https://www.phonearena.com/news/motorola-moto-g-stylus-android-11-update_id131640; https://www.xda-developers.com/samsung-galaxy-m40-tab-active-3-a31-moto-g-stylus-2020-android-11/

Any chance any of these versions would work on my phone? I noticed the blur version on many as Blur_Version.30.201.2.sofiar_retail.retail.en.US
Wouldn't that be retail us?

No, en.US just means US English is the default if I remember correctly.
Unless the bootloader is Unlocked, the bootloader says "flashing_unlocked", you need to use the software channel for your device.
