At one point I thought I heard something about a 1.4.12.2 that would 
build on all platforms, including RHEL 6.  It obviously hasn't appeared, 
at least not yet.  Will it appear, or is the plan to go straight to 1.6?

Is there a timeframe for 1.6, especially if there will be no 1.4.12.2?  
(I'm currently running RHLE6 with a locally patched 1.4.12.1.)
