 * Kube 1.0.0, 1.0.1 -- DONE!
 * Kube 1.0.X (X>1): Standard operating procedure. We patch the release-1.0 branch as needed and increment the patch number.
-* Kube 1.1alpha.X: Released roughly every two weeks by cutting from HEAD. No cherrypick releases. If there is a critical bugfix, a new release from HEAD can be created ahead of schedule. (This applies to the beta releases as well.)
-* Kube 1.1beta.X: When HEAD is feature-complete, we go into code freeze 2 weeks prior to the desired 1.1.0 date and only merge PRs essential to 1.1. Releases continue to be cut from HEAD until we're essentially done.
