If we do 11.1, it would be in June, i.e., 3 months after 11.0 and 3 months before 12.0:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap (Or we could simply call it 12.0, personally I don't mind so much about numbers.) It would contain whatever we have in master at the time of the release, i.e., cut a release branch in 3 months containing whatever we have there. It would also be a good opportunity for a brand new release manager (Eirik? Neil? Sven?, i.e., several candidates spring to mind) to cut their teeth on a small release, i.e., there wouldn't be heaps of new licenses, new modules, new donations, new features. Instead, it would be a small release -- and we could focus on fixing bugs, which is sorely needed.
