I understand the importance of sticking to the versioning convention--
so can't we say that this is 1.1.0, a new release that is primarily
intended as a bug fix release, but which is incidentally backwards
incompatible in a small way? The larger plans for 1.1 that were in the
1-2 year range can then be moved to 1.2. It does sometime happen that
version numbers increment faster than we anticipate.
