I would vote for not moving to 5.5.16 for 1.1. IMHO, its too close. We did some preliminary testing for 5.5.15 and it seems ok...and we will know in the next several days if its good to bake in to 1.1. 5.5.9 is fine to stick with since its pretty stable and it just works, and in the event 5.5.15 causes any discomfort during testing, we are comfortable that we can fall back on it.
IIRC, the 5.5.16 issues had to do with cross context stuff that David Jencks and I worked pretty diligently on to fix. So I would probably be apt to push a -1 on 5.5.16 for 1.1.
