OK - I will be traveling the 1st weeks of september, so it's unlikely that
a stable release will happen before the beginning of October.

I'm not sure if this a good goal. We already have plenty of bugreports :)
The idea is that we want to move people away from 2.10, and which we can do
if 2.11 no regressions.  Fixing other bugs is a lofty goal, but should only
delay the release if they are really serious.

Shouldn't LSR start supporting 2.11 now?  Then we can have a 'finished' 
2.12 LSR by the time we release 2.12.
