Well, given that 1.1 has breaking changes and you skipped 1.2, pushing
the RC to experimental is good packaging practice.

Your choice – if it was my package I'd do it.

Well, Nomad doesn't have to *depend* on stuff like being able to
configure the port used for Serf (1.2.2) or using go-sockaddr templates
for join and retry-join (1.1).

I for one do need the former (doing it with NAT rules is no fun and
somewhat fragile) and could make very good use of the latter, these
templates would simplify my Ansible code considerably.

There's also new features like native Kubernetes support or weighing SRV
records, and bugfixes (like a DNS issue I've already run into) which
have been fixed during 1.2. Thus just relying on Nomad's dependency
isn't enough.
