11.0-RELEASE status update

As some of you may be aware, a few last-minute showstoppers appeared
since 11.0-RC1 (and before RC1).

One of the showstoppers has been fixed in 12-CURRENT, and merged to
stable/11 and releng/11.0 that affected booting from large volumes:

There is one issue that is still being investigated, which we are
classifying as an EN candidate, given the manifestations of the issue
and reproducibility:

 https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212168

There is one blocker before 11.0-RELEASE, that affects libarchive, which
we are waiting for feedback.  Once feedback is received, the schedule
for 11.0-RELEASE will be updated on the website to reflect reality.

There are a few post-release EN items on our watch list as well, so if
something was not mentioned here, that does not mean it will not be
fixed in 11.0-RELEASE.

Apologies for the delay, and as always, thank you for your patience.
