The approach for 3.1.1 was to backport any patch which is not part of an
implementation of a major new feature, or known to be potentially unstable.
Although this resulted in a large number of changesets being backported, I
think the approach has been vindicated by the stability of the release
candidates (particularly the lack of regressions vs. 3.1.0). Regarding the
number of bug fixes, browsing through the changelogs it's clear that the
majority of changesets are straightforward bug fixes, quite a few of which
could impact domU or even system stability if you tripped them.

We'll announce 3.1.1 after it has had a final round of automated testing. At
that point we would recommend all users and vendors of 3.1.0 to upgrade.
