This is my take on this too. I personally don't feel the need to update every half a year and in my
particular case found that F11 was friendlier with my video card than F12 was. Accepting that this
is due to development of drivers (in the right direction!) I helped with testing pre-F12 but stayed
on F11, waiting for F13.
