I think both are different things, so I'll make a release of SDK 4.12 and then after RC6 conclude a few days later will announce Installer. There's in my opinion an additional marketing reason to do this since we should take profit of all the work in separate pieces and separate in time to get more buzz of all the incredible work people are doing in apache flex project. So IMO is -1.
