I've been using Gnome 3.10 and it's not that much unstable, I can
actually do my work with no problems, it's just the main programs that
need some refinement.
In the article, the main thing that worries them is that the latest
GTK wants to get rid of the icons in menus and icons in buttons, so a
lot of people report that as a bug and think that it's not a good
change...

I do think like @Joe that this could be a PPA to upgrade the version
of Gnome but I think also that Gnome itself is changing anyways and
people that wants to stick with it should be more focused on making it
better, not trying to stop its growth by freezing the version, they
should debate this things on the official gnome project if they want
the icons back to the buttons and menus.
