I don't know that that is likely.

Aside from the fact that Mathias didn't submit the SuperFeature for 3.6 
(I let him know yesterday that it looks like he forgot to move it over 
to featurereadyforwrangler) - it looks like it is coming along.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome3.6

Both Gnome and Fedora are on time-based schedules - and have been 
running parallel to each other for many, many releases - their beta hits 
before our alpha, their hard code freeze (no new code, fixes only) hits 
before our beta change deadline/features 100% complete deadline, so 
basically anything after both their hard code freeze and our 100%/beta 
deadline is all going to be bugfixes, and the gnome folks do a decent 
job of keeping fedora in close sync with upstream.  So apart from "no 
feature page" I don't really see any reason why 3.6 wouldn't make it 
(aside from unforeseen disaster), unless there is something major and 
traumatic that I have missed :)

The feature page says that 3.5.4 (which is basically "development of 
3.6" - AIUI they flip the switch to the 3.6 number as soon as a release 
candidate from 3.5.9x is declared awesome) is in rawhide.
