As far as that last goes, we *did* get the buildfarm fixed to be all
v11 scripts, so I thought we were ready to move forward on trying
09f08930f again.  It's too late to consider that for v13, but
perhaps it'd be reasonable to change the SCRAM default now?  Not sure.
Post-beta1 isn't the best time for such things.
