I am not sure this is a good idea. Once we branch 4.9 and 4.10 the base 
version can be changed and this file works.

Yes this was needed.

There is no plan to merge 4.11 back in and there are plans to remove 4.9 
and 4.10 and to place them on their own branches just like 4.11. As you 
can see the ability to support all releases at the same time is 
complicated. Once 4.9 and 4.10 are split all that needs to change is 
4.12 to 4.9 and 4.10 and things should work. Further to this all 
features in the one version can be confusing to users.

I need to tag and branch 4.9 and 4.10 and then make a tarball and add it 
to the FTP server.
