Thanks Zigo for you testing and effort, that is really appreciated.

I like the idea of testing the 3.12 in advance even with RC release. Also, as you mentioned
we will be testing it in advance as non voting so doing it on Debian experimental version
is not bad idea. this will give projects more time to fix the issues. And once we have stable
version of distro having v3.12 then we can switch the job to that distro.

I think ubuntu also going to package it in ~Nov/Dec time so that also one option
to add it as non voting.
