We go to great lengths to ensure folks can upgrade from b1 -> b3 and
b2 -> release. I am really looking for a way to advertise that, incase
its useful.

... But it could/will be missing aligned docs and translations. So
maybe its not enough different from beta... needs more thought.

I think that could still work.

But I was attempting to skip the exception of creating 11.2.1 just
because 11.2.0.dev42 fixes a critical bug present in 11.2.1. You would
have to wait for the next (time bound) release to get the extra bug
fixes and features.
