Yes we should patch and release 1.1 as well, but I don't have any
interest in working on 1.1.

Its down to whether you're hoping 1.3.0 makes "GA" quality or not. If
we want to give it a chance of "GA" then we should fix them now. If we
just want to get a milestone out there then carry on. I don't mind
either way.

Good point and probably all the more reason for carrying on with
things as they stand.
