-10 is the update that got most of the negative karma. The update was
then edited to include -11, which supposedly 'fixes' the issue (though
according to Tom it doesn't, really). Neither -10 nor -11 has made it to
f15 stable. This is all right there on that page.

There doesn't really have to be one.

Critpath updates have to be approved - by the usual standard of +1 from
a proven tester and +1 from any tester - at all stages after branching.
This does not change after beta. Neither -10 nor -11 met this standard,
so neither has been pushed to stable.
