Intro and LTS point release question

Hello, I just subscribed to the mailing list. I'm not a developer, just 
a user/tester.

Some of you may recognize me as Erick Brunzell from Launchpad or 
lbsolost from the QA Tracker.

I recently pushed for a fix to a bug where adding 
'gnome-session-flashback' to Ubuntu GNOME provided a "Flashback 
(Compiz)" session at login even though 'compiz' was not installed:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/1332183

I'd already tested the changes in Ubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, and Edubuntu 
Utopic without an issue, and just yesterday I tested the proposed change 
in both Ubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME Trusty using the 20140701 iso images to 
perform fresh installs.

I just wondered if Edubuntu was planning on a Trusty 14.04.1 point 
release? If so when the daily images resume building I'd like to test 
choosing flashback as the default session during an installation just in 
an overabundance of caution. I suppose though that I'd get the same 
result if I just ran apt-get update from the live DE before beginning 
the installation.

Regarding Precise I have a hardware specific corner issue that's caused 
me to keep using the archived 12.04.1 images so I wondered if Edubuntu 
is going to have a 12.04.5 build with the Trusty hardware enablement stack?

Neither issue is a big deal at all but I caught a brief blurb at the 
Ubuntu GNOME QA mailing list leading up to Utopic Alpha 1 that led me to 
believe Edubuntu may be opting out of interim releases altogether and 
focusing only on LTS (good idea IMHO) so I thought I'd seek clarification.

Thanks,

Lance

PS: Feel free to request testing any time and I'll be glad to do my best.
