RELENG_4_* will only see security or errata fixes, there will be no 4.12-release. So feel free to point out a security hole to the security team. Alternatively feel free to point out to the release engineering team how this bug is a major service-disrupting bug (e.g. by a huge amount of corresponding bug reports) as requested by by the errata policy (http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.11R/errata_policy.html).
