There was no fallout at all here. Different projects have different

3.11.5), and solved.
But this was backported to both gnome-3-8 and gnome-3-10, which was
approved because nobody realized it required unreleased API. If I
understand correctly you currently need unreleased NetworkManager to
build the 3.8(!) branch of g-c-c?
(But I agree this has nothing to do with the dangers of not working
upstream; rather with the dangers of shipping unreleased software....)
