Hi,
I'm glad to see this moving forward!

Yes, it does look like a forgotten push of a new branch. Just ping
Christoph Goehre <chris@???> who did the 11.0-1 upload. By the
way, they'll probably be happy to see people testing the stuff they
push to experimental.

Only simple advices from me for now:
1. Keep it short. If you don't manage to, perhaps pass it through me,
I may want to act as a compressor occasionally :)
2. Mention the following usecases:
- to deploy Thunderbird in ways that satisfy the existing, set in
stone, enterprise security policy that says no password in the
clear, ever
- places where Internet connections can, and are, sniffed and
actively tampered with (that includes about everywhere, but we
don't need to tell them right now)
Cheers!
