Ok, discussing with desrt (upstream) on IRC, he says that it shouldn't
be that much of an issue, the refactoring work is almost over and they
have a good testsuit. He also said they would address issues as they
come. We can probably have an updated package we can run to see how it
goes before UDS.

That would put us in a position where we can upload at least glib and
gtk, then we need to figure what we do with GNOME 3.2 against 3.4. If we
have an updated stack I would lean toward "stay on 3.2 by default", then
we can maybe update selected components and use the ppa for other things

What do you think?
