I whole-heartedly agree with MG here. The next release
shall be 1.1.4. The *next* release will be 1.9.x,
signifying that it is an alpha-quality release. As for
RPMs, those persons who were smart enough to find and
install your daily RPMs will be smart enough to use
the --force, --nodeps, or -e flags when installing new
official RPMs.
