Yes, GNOME 3.12 is the first desktop in Portage that is forcing
>=sys-power/upower-0.99.0, therefore
GNOME 3.12 can't be installed together with sys-power/upower-pm-utils

It's expected that more and more packages will start requiring
>=sys-power/upower-0.99.0, so this
sys-power/upower-pm-utils, is to be considered as a temporary solution,
specially considering it has
no upstream anymore

So, if package you need sys-power/upower-pm-utils for, doesn't migrate
it's code like Xfce did and
directly use sys-power/pm-utils, so that it allows 0.99.0 installation,
the package is bound to die

That's the whole point of this requirement for manual intervention of
user, he needs to make an
informed decision what route he wants to go -- like extreme route, such
as switching desktops from
LXDE to Xfce, and such

(This reply is not directly aimed at you, but to whole thread, just
trying to raise public awareness,
because maybe it will get someone to actually contribute some code to
improve the situation)
