Release 2.12 plan

[Han-Wen Nienhuys]

Hi guys,

Yesterday, I did another another bugfixing round (the results of which
are in .55).  I'll probably do another one to resolve the
tie/completion-heads issues, but after that, I think we're ready for
2.12.  I think this will happen within a month.

I used to prepare releases carefully by writing a nice blurb,
selecting where to post the announcements, eagerly watching download
stats, etc,  but I am currently so blase and short on time that I am
very much tempted to just branch off a stable/2.12 and build and push
a 2.12.0 release like I am used to doing with 2.11.

This is probably the first release of lily that has more commits from
non-Han-Wen people, and I would be more than happy to delegate writing
release notes and (optionally) the 2.12 manual preface to anyone who
interested in doing so. I imagine that our GDP heroes -fluent writers
as they are- have no trouble whipping up entertaining release notes!

thanks,
