That sounds perfect.

I was thinking of regressions.  I'm sure that we're going to find some 
after we release .12, but it would be nice if it was a smaller number 
than it might otherwise be.  :)

It's a question of 2.10 or 2.11 -- we'd have to drop 2.10, which might 
result in broken snippets.  OTOH, this is a great way to do more 
regression tests.  I'm thinking about asking if Sebastiano can update it 
in early Sep.
