It would be nice to actually say the version number, to make the
sentence as self-contained as possible.  (People might read that section
after upgrading directly from 5.9 to 5.11, or might want to copy-paste
that sentence into a mailing list post, etc..)

No opinion on what the next release's version number should be.  That
would depend on what changes are in master when we create that release.
For now, I guess you can just put in the text whatever version number you
put in the section's title?  We will presumably proofread that section if we
retitle it.

Cheers,

Daniel
