Dare I ask what was really gained in calling it R11.0 & R11.5 vs just
different gen levels?  It's not written anywhere, but I'd say most think if
the FMID is the same, it's the same release. Was the R11 just a marketing
mandate?   It seems to be a common issue in a lot of CA products.

But then someone made millions knocking the "Ford" off a car and putting
Mercury in it's place, so let's hoist one to those Edsel marketers!
