Hello Nekhelesh,

You are right, apps using Ubuntu.Components 1.2 should not be affected.
What you are seeing is a bug that caused even apps using 1.2 to get the 1.3
palette. The fix for that is here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1549830
and we already have it in our staging. We need to include it in the landing
as well.

Tim.
