If you don't update you are stuck with the problems in the old version.
If you update now you have a path to a working version.

Doesn't look like a hard choice here, the alternatives are patch 3.4.3
to make it work right, or not get it in the release. I doubt it will get
added if it isn't there to start, and patching obsolete code is pretty
much a no-go, as well. Fedora is cutting edge, time to move.
