I don't know. The 1.1 branch has are lots of improvements people want; what's so special about Gecko? IMHO we should leave the 1.0 branch alone, and just get on with 1.2.
Speaking of which, I wonder which of Alexandre's 1.2 wish list features will be done first? http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan Win64 is looking like the front runner at the moment, but there were some USB patches recently, maybe that will come from behind.

I agree. The potential security issues that have been fixed would (from what I understood) specifically target Wine. Targeting Wine 1.0.1 would be... pretty restricted. I don't think it's worth investing time for something like this when 1.2 is coming soon.

I haven't followed recent discussions about it, but it seemed to me the DIB engine got the most efforts and work done lately. If it's accepted and starts being usable, it'd be great

It doesn't really matter if 1.2 is coming soon or not. 1.0.1 is meant to be stable, and backporting gecko 0.9.1 and it's necessary infrastructure doesn't constitute a 'stable' fix/patchset.
