Really +1 to this, times a thousand. Especially the 2nd point which I think
I'd be right in thinking is the source of truth? It also talks extensively 
about svn and yet 12-stable has been on git for a month nearly, and the svn 
repo has not been updated since. Not even a hint suggesting the new process, 
that the indicated process is depreciated, or a link to the newer 
process/workflow.
