Looking forward to 21H1
Or, at least that’s the plan, according to a Microsoft blog post that was mysteriously edited to remove this information.
“The Windows Insider Fast ring is currently on our Manganese (Mn) OS branch,” the removed part of the post originally read. “We expect the Fast ring to switch over to our Iron (Fe) branch toward the later part of June.”

I hope you guys remember, that current Fast Ring builds are already far beyond version 2004? Downgrading Windows is not possible.
In a few days, when version 2004 will be released, it will be absolutely not possible to switch to version 2004 and quit Fast Ring without a clean install.
Most probably, if you select Stop getting Insider builds now, you'll switch back to official releases when version 21H1 will be released, in about a year from now.
