Actually I have been rethinking this....

The fact is there are still a few bugs that occasionally turn up in
1.2.  Not often but it happens.  These releases are likely to still be
few and far between but there are a few outstanding bugs so at least
two more releases.

The point is that the release cycle of 1.2 is likely to continue to
slow down over time.  That part hasn't changed.
