Although it's been a while since I've followed Gnus development
actively, my understanding is that 5.11 will be the culmination of the
5.10.x branch that started out as Oort Gnus, and that No Gnus
(internally designated 5.11[.]000x) will eventually become
5.12.x/5.13.
OTOH, the new ~/News/marks setup makes reupgrading after downgrading
problematic, so I'd still say that the sanest course of action would
be to stick with No Gnus until it evolves into 5.12.0, at which point
it will again be possible to follow stable branches without
backtracking.
