If we want to keep our promise that the Gnus version bundled in
Emacs is a (renumbered) stable release, this is the only viable
option.  And I don't think we have any major new features waiting to
be installed which would prevent us from implementing this plan.

Also, creating a separate "renumbered Gnus 5.12 but not quite" line
of development for the bundled Gnus doesn't sound very attractive.
Our numbering scheme is complex enough as it is...
