4.12 and 4.13 will include kdelibs too (that have been almost-frozen for a 
while but we still increase its version number on each release)

Also we don't have a date for 4.13.

It may well be May or July or even March or August since we haven't started 
planning for it and we can't do it since at Akademy it was agreed we'd do a 
shorter cycle (4.12) and then evaluate if that had worked or not, and to 
evaluate it, we have to let 4.12 happen.

So please be very clear June is a guessed month from your side since the 
Release Team has not started discussing about it.

Cheers,
  Albert
