As we all know by now, all the development releases of Ubuntu GNOME 13.10, including this second Beta version, were built on top of the GNOME 3.8 desktop environment, which is six months old, and knowing Canonical’s policy, I doubt that the final release of Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 will ship with the recently released GNOME 3.10. Apparently, the development team behind the Ubuntu GNOME project works in vain, because, in my opinion, you can’t release an operating system, which is explicitly designed to promote a certain technology, with an older version of it. In other words, releasing Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) with the GNOME 3.8 desktop environment, makes this operating system completely useless for its target: the GNOME user.
