Well, we already have a downloadable image called Squeak 3.11alpha, so it's too late to avoid 3.11 entirely. I think Edgar's point stands - given a 3.10.2 image, it's possible to update it via the update stream, but only up to a certain point. We should create an endpoint to the 3.10.2 stream and point people either to 3.11alpha (which may never see beta) or 4.1.
