There is another very good reason for redoing 3.10: all
contributions to 3.10 were made after the effective date of the
license agreements (November 2006), so, unless the authors of
the 3.10 contributions made an explicit statement about the
license of their contributions, all the 3.10 contributions are
license-unclean.

For 3.11, the board has asked the release team to not accept any
contributions without an explicit license of MIT. For 3.10, we
should retroactively enforce this policy as well.
