Another option would be to provide GNOME 3.12 in a COPR repository,
which would mean users have the choice to stick with 3.10 or upgrade to
3.12.
The downside would be more maintenance work for GNOME packagers since
they would need to support 3.10 in Fedora proper and they would probably
also want to provide bug fixes and updates to 3.12 in the COPR
repository.

I'm against COPRing GNOME 3.12 due to the maintenance burden it will create, and the lack of QA stages (updates-testing) in COPR.
If we COPR gnome 3.12, and then have to issue a minor update to it, that update will not undergo the usual fedora QA procedure of having to wait a week on testing or get 3 positive votes to  be delivered to users.

Also, COPR is now a verb.
