why no new GNOME 3 snapshot in F14?

The problem here is that that repository would have to have all the
updates that Colin is saying that we don't want to do now:

 - Rebuilds of all the gnome libraries
 - New pygobject
 - Parallel-installed clutter-14
 - Etc.

So it's a repo that would modify systems fairly drastically and would
take a lot of work to maintain. Not infeasible but we do need to
concentrate a lot on F15 in this cycle.
