Just wondering: Is that really wise? The devel cycles for 3.4, 3.5, 3.10
and 3.11 took 9 weeks; 3.6 up to 3.9 all took round about ten weeks.
Which makes it pretty likely that 3.12 gets released round about on 4.
or the 11. of November. Yes, that's pretty close to the release of F20
(Final Change Deadline is 2013-11-12 currently). But isn't including and
testing 3.12-rc soon in F20-pre better than shipping it as update for
F19 and F20 just a week or two after F20 got released? The latter seems
likely and then the 3.12 package then gets only tested in updates-testing.
