CM 10.1 Status Update
So we continue to work through the merger of 4.2 code and our CM enhancements. A branch in our github repos called mr1-staging has been created to facilitate the merger and is the target for core CM items (not features).
mr1-staging is not meant to be compile-able, its only purpose is to be a staging grounds for our core work. Chances are, it is useless for independent builders.
CM 10.0 (4.1.2) code is in jellybean-stable, if you are working on a bug-fix for the last stable release, patches should be submitted against that branch. If/when we do another 4.1.2 release (ie CM 10.0.x), it will originate from code in this branch.
Once staging is done in mr1-staging, we will push all that code to a 'CM10.1' branch, and eventually back to our primary 'jellybean' branch. This process is in place to make sure that we effectively move forward from CM 10.0 code, instead of starting over as was seen with the jump from Gingerbread to ICS. Patches from gerrit will be accepted towards CM 10.1, but for now, please have patience while we work through mr1-staging.
While the 4.2 updates are on a smaller scale, they do present some changes that will need to be considered and will effect our implementation of features. Just to name them briefly: Telephony Split, Multi-User, Quick Settings, and Lock-Screen Widgets. These items will be a strong focus when the initial CM10.1 branch is created.
On the feature front, David van Tonder (dvtonder) decided to make his weekend productive, and has already worked on the code for the majority of our MMS enhancements: Emoji support, sms split, gestures and templates, quick messaging. Notably MMS auto retrieve is not being forward ported as Google fixed that themselves. As stated above, patches will hit gerrit review after this staging process is completed.
As always, a timeline isn't and won't be available. We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

Even if we get a stable Cm 10 ,it would be worth it and I think Fxp would do that!
As for Cm 10.1,it's been answered already ,it's not just worth the efforts n hassles!

We said it already several pages back CM10 is last release for 2011 devices
Those devices use an old kernel (2.6.32) and old blobs for camera (ICS)
So even making those work with cm10 (jellybean) was an real pain
To update kernel to 3.0 we will require 6+ months (not worth for an 2 year old SOC) limited in hardware and memory
Even if we take this effort this device will not be able to handle next version of android after 4.2 because it simply lacks RAM
Even for Jellybean we had to use legacy camera to be able to use camera in an proper way (with broken panorama)
What's the benefit of having latest android if your device is not able to use new features?
We will continue fixing cm10 and releasing weekly updates with latest JB progress
