Yes, Owl-1_1-stable already exists in CVS.  Whether it will actually
receive commits and whether we will do snapshots on the FTP will
depend on the severity of post-1.1 bugs to be discovered before we
make the next release.  If anything critical is found in Owl 1.1
before there's a new release, there will be a fix for the 1.1.
