11.0.0 proposal

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge 11.0.0-proposal into v11.x

This is the in progress 11.0.0 release. The changelog is expected to change significantly as new 10.x releases occur between now and Oct 23.

Please consider the semver-major cut-off to be in effect. I will only pull in semver-major commits that have consensus from the TSC or are considered critical fixes
