Not sure how this is still relevant to the Gnome 3.8 stabilization;
Patrick's example brought some irrelevant matters to mind, but what
this really is about as he intended is a "QA violation".

He just clarified in the other thread as well as on IRC that by this QA
violation he means that there is no proper upgrade path; so, I no
longer see any use in that example as it has became clear without it.
