Here's my problem with running 3.2 out of the gate in 2014.

When I go on H-Node and browse their database of video cards I see that there are a handful of Nvidia cards that offer 3D acceleration with the free software drivers. The big kicker is that they usually reference the 3.10 kernel by jxself as the minimum meaning that live CD users are going to get a false interpretation of the OS since the kernel is so old out of the gate. Not only the kernel, but the Xorg stack too.

Of course one can just install the OS and immediately grab the 3.11 kernel and newer Xorg from the repos and have everything work as it should, but I don't see the point in releasing a new ISO if they are going to have the same kernel (with its limitations) as default.
