I tried to add 3.11 but it breaks a few more things in the environment 
than I want to fix at this stage, so, sorry, but no addition of 3.11 to 
the 2.2 release line.

To be clear, it's not the code the culprit, so any packager should be 
fine packaging for 3.11 but our pipeline would require more updates, get 
rid of old versions, and the same, and _that_ would be messy.
It also looks like something changed on the Windows outside of my 
control, so that this needs as well to be fixed, but something to be 
done on the 2.4 timeline...

Sorry, Eric
