Ah, I think I failed to explain myself better.

What I was trying to explain is:
Since Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is about to stick to GNOME 3.8 so for us, maybe,
just maybe, it is a great chance to 'also' go LTS and get advantage of that
decision of Ubuntu Team which I think they are not planning but they have
already made up their minds.

Just a thought :)
