[chef-dev] RE: Re: Re: CHEF-3788: More restrictive gem dependencies?

I know my vote is to target Chef 11. Here's to hoping that Chef 10.18 stays 
very stable for a long time and we can move forward. Introducing changes this 
late is probably asking for trouble.

Thanks,

I guess I just volunteered? Should we target Chef 10.18.2, or Chef 11?
i.e. which branch is the "best" one?
