Ubuntu 12.04.2 is currently scheduled to be released on Jan 31st [0]. This is the first time we have shipped a backported Hardware Enablement stack in a LTS release, comprised of a new kernel and graphics subsystem. At this time we feel it is better to delay the release by two weeks to allow time for extra QA testing.
This would put the new release date on 14 Feb 2013. No other dates would change (i.e. freezes etc.), we are just using the extra two weeks for testing and possible bug fixing for identified issues. The QA Test Plan will be to have the Community Team conduct extensive manual testing with the Ubuntu Testing Community. In addition, the Canonical QA team & Certification teams will be running further automated testing to ensure that the 12.04.2 point release is of superior quality. Provided there are no major objections I will update the Release Schedule [0] before the end of today.
