[Commotion-dev] Problem with new DR1.1 build

[Josh King]

The intent is definitely to test newer revisions regularly so we can 
get bugfixes and other updates, and update the pinning accordingly. But 
yeah, it kind of seems like AA is too prone to breakage at the moment 
to just track its head. The last release seems like a good starting 
point until we can get a testing strategy for that up and running.
