Rather than spending resources on new 3.6->12 migration functionality, we'll likely note the most significant differences  on a 3.6 specific What's New page. The ability to target specific "from versions" (3.6 in this case) with a WN page on update was implemented in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739793.
