Backports are only for 1.0, 1.1 is just a release of the unstable branch - it
doesn't get any long term support - such as backported bugfixes.

At least that what I understood.

But I also believe that any manpower spend on 1.0 is mostly wasted - no matter
how tiny.

And I think that's already the plan.  1.2 will be released when the
symbology-ng & labeling stuff was merged.
