The odd numbered releases are considered "unstable" as in "we can
change the API / ABI", but we commit to keeping them stable across
stable releases, which are even numbered. So, next stable release is
0.12, but we have no ETA yet.

As Fedor mentioned, we used to do NodeJS and libuv major releases in
tandem, but that might change, specially now that libuv is also used
in other major projects such as Julia or Rust.

We'll need to discuss specifics, but I'd say having (libuv) 0.12
before the end of the year is reasonable.
