Nevertheless, 11.1.0.7.0 is already in the list of selectable patchset versions in saved searches in the patch area of MetaLink, so it probably already entered internal alpha or beta test phase... 10.2.0.4.0 been on the list for like half a year before it was finally released though, so don't hold your breath yet. :)
