Unfortunately I don't remember if it was discussed or not. I'm for
leaving 1.1 behind, even if we need to make a compatible version at
this point, but then moving on. Seems like 1.3 is doable.
I wouldn't want to leave users out in the cold. I still want to
provide a release that works with a given jvm version, but I don't
think I want to freeze all development at that version so long. So
maybe new development proceeds with newer version of the jvm or
something?
