Agreed, people are getting accustomed to faster release cycles these
days, so getting 1.1.13 out the door now and 1.1.14 around the end of
the year would be great (or even earlier if features and fixes justify it).

Of course I hate that there's so much "good stuff" that won't make it
into 1.1.13 but that gives fodder for blog posts to whet appetites for
1.1.14.
