Yes, we don't want to port any new feature --- including style files
--- to the then frozen 11.x series.

For sure we'll just tag release_11_92 for the time being.  I think
that we reserve the possibility to create a branch if it'll be
necessary to port important bug fixes to 11.x series, but this can be
decided later.
