I was pointing out that yes - there is going to be a 4.11. Perhaps I 
should have articulated it. The version numbering scheme is odd.

For example, there is a 5.2 and a 5.2.1

Perhaps the release after 4.9 should have followed the same pattern -
It would have been nice to see it progress something like this:

4.8, 4.9, 4.9.1, 4.9.2 and so on.

The 4.9, 4.10 and soon to come 4.11 RELEASES will likely confuse the new 
users to FreeBSD.
