Public bug reported: We have been trying to land this transition for about 9 months now (well previously was 3.10, but that was largely the same). The big blocker was the removal of xrandr and idlemonitor code out of gnome-desktop. Robert Ancell has solved that issue see Bug 1372240 (however that still hasn't landed yet.
There is a SONAME bump, however that only affects g-s-d/g-c-c (and u-s-d/u-c-c until above changes land). Mostly apps are using things like the thumbnailer etc, and these are not affected by api changes, so they just need to be rebuilt. gnome-session will need to be updated to latest 3.10 stable release.
