That's what I previously thought as well, but there are discussions from
October from the Ubuntu people that have proposed GNOME 3.8 for the LTS:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-desktop/2013-October/004311.html

One advantage of this, I guess, is that there is more chance of GNOME
Flashback being shipped (currently at version 3.8), although I currently
have no idea what desktop Trisquel will use for the next release.

From other lists, I have the understanding that portions of GNOME 3.10 depend on systemd, rather than Ubuntu's upstart initialization system, hense Ubuntu sticking to GNOME 3.8 for the GNOME Edition, and Unity 3D for the main edition. Is there a Flashback for 3.8? I know they brought it back for 3.10; have played with it in another distro.
