I look forward to the training montage video :-)

Well, at least everything that goes in 12.0 should have your review
and you have final call on it if need be - it's mainly your workload
that stands to increase!   In my opinion, we also need to be careful
of pulling in anything that changes too much of what is being covered
by NetCAT - being involved with NetCAT for 9 made me wary of providing
too much of a moving target for that process.

Agreed, and a good thing for more people to know how that all works,
particularly whoever wants to do 12.1, and if there's a week you can't
do it - shout up (assuming weekly betas are right still?) ...

... yes, that's kind of a one person thing, although the hardest thing
might just be waiting for svn! ;-)

I was actually thinking there's a bunch of stuff here around JIRA
issue management, related PR triaging/reviewing, etc. that might need
opening up more - I wonder how much NetCAT will increase the work
there.  And just generally working out how that fits in / gets
managed.

Not sure the point you're making here?  I went with 11.2-u1 mainly not
to have 11.21 before 11.3.  But the choice of version number seems a
minimal concern.  You thinking of whole release for update?  NB
11.2-u1 was just vote on full sources, plus putting the required
update NBMs on the mirrors.  Don't see how it could be less complex.
