which case it's not too late, however I'd like some clarification about
what this actually offers over defaulting to 1.0. Specifically, are there
known servers which will refuse to serve 1.0 clients?  Script authors have
had the option of opting into 1.1 for some significant time now.

Basically, what's the chance of something accidentally not working due to
advertising 1.0 versus something not working due to advertising 1.1?  If
the changes are equal, I'd *personally* err in favor of status quo since
those needing 1.1 have already opted into it, those needing 1.0 may not
have.
