Why not do the opposite and provide the old one as a copr? Splitting up the release in the premiere os distribution of gnome seems very wrong. It'd be like serving a chef's signature dish but swapping out one of her planned sides by default. Present the chefs vision on the menu and allow diners to arrange for substitutions as needed with their waiter. Mmm yum as a waiter.

How tied-in is gedit? Could we keep it at 3.10 and bump everything else
to 3.12, and maybe provide gedit 3.12 in a COPR for those who want it
(if we don't go with the all-of-3.12 in a COPR plan)?
