But CMF 1.6.0 was released before 1.1, even::

 $ svn propget svn:externals $ZSVN/CMF/tags/1.6.0
 ...
 GenericSetup svn://svn.zope.org/repos/main/GenericSetup/tags/1.1-beta

We shouldn't move the 1.6 release line to a newer GenericSetup release,
at least without a really good reason.

I think we should be *trying* to keep the CMF pointed at released
versions of GS, and should definitely delay making CMF releases until we
can tie them to a tagged release of GS.  Dependencies which are released
separately need to be managed with more care.
