No, GNOME should be upgraded.  I upgraded it twice in the past, and it=E2=
=80=99s
a lot of work, but certainly not impossible.

I don=E2=80=99t know if anyone is working on it right now, though.  I was t=
old
months ago that Raghav Gururajan was working on GNOME upgrades as part
of the wip-desktop branch, but my occasional questions for a status
upgrade have gone unanswered.  Raghav, please correct me if I=E2=80=99m
mistaken.  It would be good to clarify what is and isn=E2=80=99t the scope =
of
wip-desktop.

We=E2=84=A2 should upgrade GNOME as soon as possible.  It=E2=80=99s been st=
uck on 3.34
for much too long.
