I will review the documentation in details later on. But I have a first
concern about 169493d.

What prevents us from say exactly when this will happen? I think that
saying "as soon as possible" doesn't mean much to the user. I don't
think that we planning to issue a incremental upgrade about that next
week? :)

When you say that this might happen before 1.3, do you think that this
is suitable for 1.2.1, a point release?

And if it's set for Tails 1.3, then I'll add a calendar indication maybe
"January 2015" or something like this.
