yay! thanks for pushing this forward again.

looking at "git diff 1.0..pu/1.1" I see quite some other changes and I'm not
sure I'm happy with all of them. (eg the 2nd <para> changed…)

And I really think the "changelog" should cover all the changes.

tagging that 1.1 would make it official, without quotes. but please don't do
this next week, just a week before the summit, where we have a much better
oportunity to release this with a nice consensus. that said, I'm all for preparing
this consensus in the days leading to the summit!
