What _very_ critical fixes where done in the 4.1 branch? IMO, they
certaily do not need a new 'bug-fix' release as was needed for 4.1.0.
Therefore there shall not be an 4.1.2.

The general 'rule' is (we actually don't have rules for it) is to merge
critical fixes to the release branch, to make sure that IF there will be a
new release of an already release branch, those very critical fixes are
taken into account.

What do you define as critical exactly? For me it is a security problem,
or a major feature of PHP not working (ie. sessions or a bug in the MySQL
module which renders it totally useles.)

I wasn't aware that it was a build error. In this case it should be merged
of course.
