Thanks for your reply 

The big question is how did so many major bugs appear in the final
release that were not present in the beta testing releases ?

I accept the point about nothing being perfect and I would not expect
that. The point I was trying to make was this. Bugs that have been
marked high priority have no developers assigned in 3.10 the release
version of gnome yet we get gnome 3.12 in the staging ppa and developers
working on that. 

So just simple question is the priority getting the bugs fixed in the
new release or moving on to the next release ?
