I think this will not actually make life easier.  People using a
1.0.x version are not always using the latest 1.0.x version.

Or are you happy to say that they either need a certain version of
the 1.0.x branch or the 1.1 branch?  Then why not just say they
need the 1.1 branch?

I know it's annoying, but I don't see this solving anything, nor
do I see a good way to avoid it.

But adding things to master to make it easier to upgrade are
clearly things we do want to do.
