Anything "reasonably recent" on the main-use is fine.
Heading towards the bleeding edge is valuable for shaking out
problems, but does mean effort (probably for you).

That's fine by me. We'd want to move the main-use to 1.1.1 after
that went official, and after we'd had enough testing done on the
port-26.

In other news, I finally got DKIM Ed25519 working with 1.1.1 last night.
That code will be in RC2.
