Okay, this obviously sucks, and I'm really worried we cannot
realistically impose the critpath policy on F12 when we clearly don't
have the testing capability at present. We've discussed various things
to do about this; for now I propose we remove the critpath restrictions
on F12. From a *theoretical* point of view this makes no sense as we
should treat all stable releases the same, but from a *practical* point
of view, I can't see another way to handle the situation.
