Phoronix is reporting that Ubuntu will break yet another long-standing “tradition” while developing their upcoming 13.04 version… they will stick with the current stable version of Gnome, rather than focusing on the “so to be stable” or development version of Gnome.  Ubuntu has said that this is to preserve their own development resources which are typically spent debugging some of the development Gnome issues.  The switch will allow them to re-purpose these resources to other development tasks.
