If the update is good enough to be stable for F12, why is it not good enough for F11 as well? As for workload, the things which are the most work (bumping the specfile, removing obsolete patches, occasionally fixing file lists, making sure it builds) have to be done anyway, building the same stuff one more time is basically trivial anyway. I really see no benefit whatsoever in not upgrading the previous stable Fedora, and instead I see major drawbacks (no more bugfixes, except for possibly select few backported ones (but there's no way we can backport all of them!); additional workload for us because we can no longer just sync the specfile to fix issues; etc.).
