I understand that, and it's good to try an plan ahead...

</I>
Well, it's not only about testing the gnome packages, it's also about
the integration testing, space on isos, upgrade testing, ...

</I>
Well, as 3.2.x is "stabilized", it might not need so much from 3.4x
and that in contrast to 3.4 wich has new features, so new stuff that can
break, and so on...

</I>
Well,
we try to find a sane balance between stable and latest/greatest....
It might get good PR to get latest Gnome 3.4 in Mageia 2,
but if 3.4 turns out to be a "bad release", Mageia takes
the hit, not upstream Gnome.
