Because it makes no sense, doing a GCC release is lots of work and GCC has a
roughly yearly release cadence for a reason. Before a trunk can be released
it needs to be stabilized, which even when the trunk has been open only for
a few weeks would be several weeks of work.
You can always cherry-pick any changes assigned to FSF from trunk to 11.1
on your own, but there is no reason why others should spend significant time
on it.
