In this case, the LTS release will be after the  x.x.1 release of
GNOME, but not by much. GNOME 3.4.1 is scheduled for April 18th [0].
12.04 is scheduled for April 26th, but the Release Candidate is
scheduled for April 19th [1].

Of course, this is mostly a moot point for Precise. It's still under
discussion, but it seems like we're not going to have 3.4 in Precise.
According to the desktop team list the plan seem to be to stick with
3.2.x.
