Heads up: this one is kinda DOA, there's no need to test it any
further. We can't reasonably ship it as Beta.

There may be a 1.3 or we may just go with 1.1 (assuming no new blockers
emerge).

1.2 was an attempt to fix some issues in Atomic. It *did* fix them, but
it's also broken in other cases. The changes made were to systemd, and
the changes themselves included a couple of bugs we can't reasonably
accept in the Beta. So 1.2 just isn't a viable candidate.

Please continue testing 1.1 for now, there'll be another announcement
if we do a 1.3. I will revise the 'current' links to point back to 1.1
and add a warning note to the 1.2 pages.

Thanks folks!

Further heads-up: a 1.3 is running now, we'll make a choice between 1.1
and 1.3 (assuming nothing else comes up) at go/no-go tomorrow.

Please continue testing 1.1 for now - the difference between 1.1 and
1.3 is small, so most tests will be valid regardless of which we pick.
When 1.3 shows up, there will be an automated announcement mail, and
it'd be good to get some tests run on it if we can, before tomorrow.
1.2 is entirely out of the running. :) Thanks folks!
