since i cant find anything new on this topic. im gonna ask . when is 3.12 gonna be pushed to the Fedora repo's? or is it still in Discussion? if it is can someone point me to where i can follow the conversation about this please.
It's still pending discussion, but there hasn't been much of that following the initial flurry.
It might be useful to collect possible blockers:
1. Extension compatibility -- no one answered my question about the accuracy of the popularity sort at https://extensions.gnome.org/. It looks like most of the most popular extensions _are_ updated, and maybe a concentrated effort could be made on, say, the top 20 that aren't yet.
2. Extension upgrades -- if we can install and activate drago01's extension which notifies users of out-of-date extensions, users will still get broken extensions after the upgrade but will at least get a notification explaining what to do.
3. The UI change overall -- yes, this would be an exception to policy. But, sheesh, have you seen the Firefox 29 changes that just went live? That has a much bigger impact on my practical UI than any GNOME 3.10 -> 3.12 changes.
4. Possible regression bugs not yet resolved?
5. Possible problems with new versions affecting other desktops?
6. Other?
