I tend to agree, but I have reasons for not having released 0.11 yet:
* I'm getting very little feedback about release candidates (and admit to
not having announced 0.11rc6, which was probably a good thing in
retrospect).
* I haven't had time to test recent versions myself, on the platforms that
I have virtual machines for.
* My home machine has blown up, so until I get back to the UK I have no
access to my solaris VM, for example.
* Some tests are currently failing on Windows and I haven't had time to
investigate and fix them.

There are release candidates for 0.11, and running them is highly
recommended, especially as 0.10 no longer compiles on modern platforms.
Cheers, Chris.
