Pardon me for butting in where I haven't been invited.  I realize I
haven't earned the right to direct development here, but I had a few
concerns.  No offense is intended, and I hope no offense will be
perceived.

Aren't point releases are usually reserved for fixing problems
discovered in a major release?  I guess sticking things in 0.11.1 for
now is a good idea, but I suggest that once you decide what's in 0.11,
everything else in 0.11.1 gets moved to 0.12.

Yes, and I suggest adding an item about making
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11 more complete.
Most of the information I ended up needing to port a few plugins
wasn't on that page.  I did my best to add what I learned, but I may
have missed a few things.  It isn't easy to document what you're
learning when you're not sure that it's right :)  It needs to be done
by someone who actually understands the code.

'scuse again, but wouldn't it be worse to have a brand new API come
out that you're planning to retire in the very next release?
