What happened to 11.1.x?

At the time of planning this release around Fedora 14 for XO-1 and XO-1.5, we are in the interesting situation where XO-1.75 software development is restricted to developing around F12/F13. The 11.1.x space is therefore reserved for a F12/F13 release for XO-1.75. In the future, we hope to produce joint software releases for all 3 laptops.

This oddity is expected to be a one-off; as soon as Fedora/ARM reaches Fedora 14, XO-1.75 releases will be able to share the same base (and versioning) as XO-1/XO-1.5 releases.
