Good point. Ok, talked about this with Sebas. We suggest: we do the 4.12.4 
asap in the morning on April 1st and the frameworks5 Beta 1 later that day. 

Then, Wednesday we do Plasma Next Alpha which then gets proper attention.

Plasma Next Alpha dot story is pretty much done (can use review), the 
Frameworks5 Beta can use a review, too. If any of you has time, please go 
over them:
