So, #NetBSD 11.1 was tagged and released (https://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_11_1_released).
Remind me, does 11.0 live in parallel with 11.1, or does 11.1 replace it? Is 11.1 the new "stable branch" (the new "netbsd-11" branch)?
I'm guessing "netbsd-11" now points to the 11.1 code. (Checks... yes it does.)
Ok. Good.

@kusalananda@fosstodon.org - releng creates netbsd-11 branch when -current is stable enough - remains in beta/alpha for several months as it stabilizies, fixes are backported - first release is made - fixes continue to be backported - second release is made releases are fixed points on the stable branch. most users will probably find tracking the stable branch to be good enough, but releases recieve extra attention (like manual cryptographic signatures) presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNlxFh43V-w
