Well, there's been some discussions about this and in the end it I looks 
like it was decided that minor releases are /not/ simply 
backwards-compatible bugfix releases. Currently they more reflect 
whether the -unstable tree has been merged since the last time or not 
:-), and basically "how significant the upgrade is".

The reason this isn't a problem is because there are seldom bugs of the 
kind which forces users to upgrade in the first place :-)

If something like a critical bug which forces users to upgrade comes 
along and this *does* become a problem I suppose the solution is to 
backport the fix on the 0.11.1 tree and make a 0.11.1.1 release

Ah, I didn't notice that there's no Cython code in that stack trace. So 
I won't even bother downgrading Cython (it literally takes hours), my 
install.log is here:
