4.11.3 will be released first with some bugfixes to keep 4.11 a proper
release.
4.12 needs to go out now so that we can test and prepare for 4.13. I'm
confident we can have a stable and proper 4.13 release as long as we
don't keep the window open for too long.
The major problem is having the master branch open for a long time,
features going in and people not testing it sufficiently.
By having a relatively short period between 4.12 and 4.13 we can catch
most bugs and stabilize for a proper LTS.
