I think the silent consensus to not change the procedure for stable branches and ongoing votes. And I don't buy the "incomplete wiki documentation" missing the git and still having the SVN commands in there argument. I don't argue we should not fix it all up (we should!), but plenty of people had no trouble casting a vote that I'd say it'd be okay to run this release with "wrong" instructions (that we only had for two or so releases so far anyway and that we had to amend each time to clarify, so this -1 could be retroactively apply to these previous releases). That said, if this community decides we should sort out the git/tagging issue first and update the Test Procedure wiki page before releasing or even voting on 1.1.1, I'd be fine with that.
