is Ubuntu 13.04 going to be any better?

The GNOME version we base on is decided at the beginning of the cycle. Given there are a few big changes in the 3.8 cycle, and since Ubuntu has rather heavily patched some of the core components, a decision was made to stick with 3.6 this cycle, partly for stability reasons, and partly due to the work required to port the patches to another new release. There are also not enough human resources to keep track of a GNOME development release.

The accessibility stack in 13.04 is from GNOME 3.8 however.
