The 3.10.17-1.0.1 is a bugfix release of the GA BSP, as you can see
from the commit log provided by Lauren on the patches it is indeed a
fix on top of the GA.

If new bugfix releases happen to be released, 3.10.17-1.0.x, the
natural thing is to put them on the branches which are affected. As
done in all other layers.

The 3.10.31-1.1.0 is a major update and not just a bugfix. Even
Freescale thing it is not ready otherwise it'd be called GA (not
Beta). So  I think the difference is clear enough...

In case someone wants to change the vote, feel free to send it :-)
