Gnome 3.12 Delayed To Sync With Wayland Release

sfcrazy writes "Gnome developers are planning to delay the release of Gnome 3.12 by approximately a week. It's a deliberate delay to sync the release with the availability of Wayland 1.5. Matthias Clasen (Fedora and Gnome developer) explains that 'the GNOME release team is pondering moving the date for 3.12.0 out by approximately a week, to align the schedule with the Wayland release plans (a 1.4.91 release including all the xdg-shell API we need is planned for April 1). The latter 3.11.x milestones would be shifted as well, to avoid lengthening the freeze period unnecessarily.'"

That team of wayland developers happens to be largely the same team who used to work on X, and wayland is endorsed by the X.org foundation. I've no technical opinion of wayland, but it's easy to see that X.org and the developers of X are in a better position to evaluate the need for it than you are.
