I should qualify that comment with a bit of context: there's a TON of
changes in 0.11, and the internal customization APIs are all very
different.  This means a lot of stuff that Sage does won't work out of
the box with 0.11.

However, we will need some help from the Sage team to find out areas
where we may have inadvertently dropped a feature or removed an entry
point without putting in a replacement in the new APIs.  Since Sage
makes more intense use of IPython than most other projects, there are
things we'll only find out about once Sage tries to update.

All this means that while 0.11 is not likely to be an easy update for
Sage, simply waiting will not work either.  The best approach would be
for someone to give 0.11 a try and let us know what breaks by opening
issues in our tracker (https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues) and
asking on our -dev mailing list
(http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/ipython-dev). That way,
hopefully they will get resolved during the 0.12 cycle and then when
0.12 does come out, it will be realistic for Sage to actually upgrade
without troubles.

Cheers,
