Yes, but we still have to make some official public releases. I don't  
think we can just release Continuum generated builds and then just  
release 1.1? Or do I misunderstand what you're talking about.

No, I would prefer them both to be done on the branch. I'm honestly  
+0 on using Acegi and I want to see fully how it might be done before  
passing judgement but I don't want it on the trunk as I honestly feel  
that it's just so complicated. Carlos will have to show it's not and  
that's just as easy to do on a branch.
