That's kind of the point of having it be a specific gnome3 repo.  If the
only way to get updated gnome3 on F14 is to "break" core libraries, than
that's the only way.  But when it is in its own repository then people
are /choosing/ to go down that path, instead of winding up on that path
due to something else they wanted from that repository.
