Actually at UDS we discussed holding off on pulling it in for a month or so, and keep development focused on the 1.11 stack we shipped in precise. Then anything we fix will be an easy sru candidate for lts. We're likely to be shipping 1.13, so stabilization of 1.12 is of interest for helping upstream but no one voiced requirements at uds for it, so there doesn't seem to be an urgency for it. However, having it in PPAs would be beneficial for users anxious to try it, and also for facilitating bisection testing. We do have a couple experiments we want to do in the near term: Dropping xserver patches, and pulling the new -intel DDX. If we hold the xserver constant, this might help us better isolate regressions or improvements to be gained from those changes.
