+
+For PR reasons, GNOME 3.4 would be great, but I fear that will not be feasible 
+without delaying the Mageia 2 release date, and I'm not sure such a decision 
+will be taken (if you do it for one upstream project, why not for this other 
+project that releases 15 days laters, or that new kernel that looks great, 
+etc.).
+
+However, how great is GNOME 3.4 going to be as compared to 3.2.2 ? :)
