I dont think at this point it is realistic as well considering we havent gotten a release date and no one has heard a word from the XFCE team about it.

If there is enough interest and motivation from the community (including people who can actually help with the SRU), it can be discussed. As Jackson, I don't personally think it as a realistic thing to do at the moment either.

4.12 will be difficult to get to 14.04, let alone backporting it all the way to precise

    Aside from the trusty enablment stack, the only other compelling
    piece would be XFCE 4.12, which I cant seem to get a precise, no
    pun intended, release date.  Releasing the trusty kernel through
    updates would be optimal.  Of course, we, the Black Lab Linux
    team, are supporting 12.04 for two years past the scheduled
    Ubuntu support date until 2019.  So, we may do a 14.10 stack as
our last major release, we may work on that for Xubuntu as well. But that will be determined on where 14.04 LTS is at that time.

    If we don't need to update the ISO really, we can just release
    12.04.5 as is, with the updates that have landed to Ubuntu core
    after .4. On the other hand, if there is something we want in,
    it's another possibility to get stuff in an ISO, not just updates.

    I would note that there is only 1 year left of Xubuntu support
    for 12.04, so not sure if it makes any difference to land big
    SRU's now, since people need to upgrade to 14.04 somewhat
    shortly anyway.

    *Subject:* *[RFC] 12.04.5*

    Hi All,

    With 12.04.4 having just released, I wanted to propose the
    idea of having a 12.04.5 point release for Precise.

    As many are aware, recent 12.04.x point releases have shipped
    with a newer kernel and X stack by default for hardware
    enablement purposes.  Maintainers of these enablement stacks
    have agreed to support these until a Trusty based enablement
    stack is supported in Precise.  Once a Trusty enablement stack
    is supported, all previous enablement stacks would EOL and be
    asked to migrate to the final Trusty based enablement stack
    which would continue to be supported for the remaining life of
    Precise.

    Currently, 12.04.4 is our final point release for Precise.
     12.04.4 shipped with a Saucy enablement stack by default.
     This Saucy enablement stack in Precise will eventually EOL in
    favor of the Trusty enablement stack.  Once that happens, our
    final point release for Precise will be delivering an EOL'd
    enablement stack.  This seems unfortunate and inappropriate.
     I would like to propose having a 5th point release for
    Precise which would deliver the Trusty enablement stack for
    Precise.

    Providing a 12.04.5 point release will add no additional
    maintenance burden upon teams supporting enablement stacks in
    Precise.  It would require some extra effort on part of the
    Canonical Foundations Team as well as the Ubuntu Release Team
    to spin up an additional set of images and testing
    coordination etc.  However, I informally discussed this with a
    few members of each of those teams and the tentative agreement
    was that 12.04.5 was a reasonable request which could be
    accommodated.  Collectively we could find no compelling reason
    to not provide 12.04.5.  We also discussed that a 12.04.5
    release should be optional for the Flavors to participate in.
     Additionally, we would want to purposely avoid clashing the
    14.04.1 and 12.04.5 release dates and would suggest releasing
    14.04.1 first and 12.04.5 after (exact date TBD).

    What are other's thoughts here?  Does anyone have a compelling
    reason for not providing a 12.04.5 point release?

    Thanks,
    Leann
