  The recently discovered rapid transient GN-z11-flash has been suggested to be
the prompt-emission ultraviolet flash associated with a gamma-ray burst
serendipitously exploding in the ultra-high-$z$ galaxy GN-z11. We here place
the flash into the context of the early ultraviolet emission of gamma-ray
bursts, and find it is in agreement with the luminosity distribution of these
events.
