Done, in fact - if someone will kindly copy the tarball from
ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/ to sourceware.  I can't do it myself. 
Everything else is finished.

I don't know.  I would rather not; I would rather a 2.13 whenever
someone feels the need for a 2.12.

This depends on the answer to the previous question; it is either open
or dead.  I have very little preference - what little I have is towards
killing the branch, because that is a lot easier on the poor release
manager.  If a critical failure comes up, we can fix that on the branch
and release a 2.12.1, but I don't want it accumulating random
differences.
