There’s two reasons for this. One, 11.16 was made by cherry-picking the 
windows DSC features onto 11-stable. We did this because most of our team’s 
effort is on Chef Client 12 and we didn’t have time to QA other code that had 
gone into master since then, so we handled the release like we would a bug 
fix/patch release. Secondly, we’ve merged some 12.0 changes into master, so 
all subsequent 11.x releases will be made by merging patches to the 11-stable 
branch.

Anyway, I think you’re implicit point, that users should be able to go to 
github and read a DOC_FILE.md and see the real current state of release 
history, is correct. I’ll see about getting master updated.
