IIRC there were already two patches that are waiting to be applied
that were put off until 2.13.  Trevor was talking about
reshuffling the text crescendo commands.  I just finished
unpacking today (yeah, 3.5 weeks after I arrived :)  and I want to
start tearing up LM 1 and AU 1.

Most of all, the stability rule about 2.12 was imposed too quickly
and came as a shock to most developers.  We'll have a much longer
stable 2.14, but I think it's better to move to 2.13 sooner rather
than later.  About a month ago, I said that we'd move to 2.13 at
the beginning of Feb.
