Check with your IBM rep, they should be able to share more info. There is an internal document that has a FAQ. Some specifics that address the questions asked:
- The announcement should follow in 60 days (I assume starting from 12-Mar) - Support for 1.12 and 1.13 will be extended to bridge customers to new release cycles. N-2 compatibility will remain. To me this suggest 1.12 will go out of support no sooner than 1.15 (or whatever it will be called) availability, which would seem to be the 2nd half of 2014 (that's my interpretation, it wasn't explicitly stated in the communication).
