True.

I wasn't regarding that as a necessity until we made a new zc.catalog  
release: I regarded the 1.1 PyPI release and svn tag as sufficient  
support for now.

I'm willing to change my mind--or, more accurately, I'm willing to  
try and make a new release sooner than I would have otherwise.

I have one constraint: I don't want sniffing code (am I in ZODB 3.7  
or 3.8+?) to go in 1.2.  While supporting migration is important to  
me, cleanliness is also.

I just made a 1.1 branch (svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/ 
zc.catalog/branches/1.1).
For now, I suggest you move to that branch (or to the tag or PyPI  
release!).  Meanwhile, we'll make a new version of 1.1 that does  
contain sniffing code and also contains a generation script.  We'll  
release 1.1.1 and 1.2.0a-rev(some revision number...).

The migration path will be as follows:

move to 1.1.1 (or svn up/switch to 1.1 branch)
run migration script
move to 1.2/trunk

I don't have an ETA for you, but we will try to have it in the next  
day or two.
