Right, that's one possibility (and basically what it's happening 
nowadays), but it makes the distributors' job harder and so increases 
the likeness that GNOME users will get a suboptimal experience on their 
distribution.
It's neither a win situation for GNOME since it's not showing as good as 
it should for those users nor for the distributors.

Dunno for others but speaking for Ubuntu as a distribution we do keep 
with what is happening. This cycle we decided to stay on GNOME 3.2 so we 
are fine and we will have time to add the services required before 
landing 3.4 next cycle.

 Jeremy and some others are working to provide GNOME 3.4 in a ppa for 
the users who want it though, that will like create issues for them and 
for the users who will run the next version and will get a degraded 
experience.

It's also going to be an issue for i.e Debian. They seemed to be looking 
at GNOME 3.4 for the next release (their freeze is a bit after 3.4) but 
they will not use systemd by default so they either have to figure what 
they can do with their limited resources, ship with non working 
features, or stay on 3.2.
