RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Robin R. Price II 2014-06-13 15:35:44 UTC 
We are at early stages of RHEL7 to consider this as a possibility.  Gnome3.8 is already showing it's age and the recent API changes are now making https://extensions.gnome.org/ and problematic.

Rebasing would include the following enhancements:

Gnome3.10 [0]:
* A reworked system status area, which gives a more focused overview of your system.
* Three new applications (which are technology previews): Maps, Music and Software.
* Three new additions to the core set of GNOME applications: Notes, Photos and Weather. ‟Software“, which provides an easy way to browse and install applications.
* New geolocation features, such as automatic time zones and world clocks.
* The ability to set a custom image on the lock screen.
* High-resolution display support

This one ^^^^ is extremely important.  We have had several requests from SLED customers wanting to run RHEL7 on newer Apple laptops.  This would take advantage of the retina display.

Gnome3.12 [1]:
* A big update to the GNOME web browser, with improved performance and UI enhancements.
* Three new preview applications – Logs, Sound Recorder, and Polari – a new IRC client for GNOME.
* Photos has been updated with new Facebook integration.
* A new search feature for Terminals.
* Integrated Google Cloud Print support.
* A revamped Initial Setup Assistant.
* The use of the new popovers widget in a number of core applications.
* A  new API provides integrated support for desktop notifications. 
* 3.12 also includes a powerful new process launching API.

http://www.gnome.org/news/2014/09/gnome-3-14-released/

The new release is the result of six months’ work by the GNOME project, and includes 28,859 changes by 871 contributors. Highlights for 3.14 include:

    New animations in the Activities Overview, along with new window animations.
    Automatic handling for Wi-Fi hotspots that require you to login (so called “captive portals”).
    A redesigned Weather application, which uses geolocation to show the weather for your current location.
    Support for browsing Google pictures in Photos.
    Improved touchscreen support, with multi-touch gestures for both the system and applications.

The latest GNOME release also includes major improvements for developers, including GTK+ Inspector (a new utlity to examine and modify running GTK+ applications), the ability to use SVG assets as a part of GTK+ themes, improved touchscreen support, and major progress towards Wayland.
Comment 8 Robin R. Price II 2015-03-05 19:23:08 UTC 
GNOME 3.15.90 information:

https://blogs.gnome.org/mclasen/2015/02/23/gnome-3-16-sightings/

This post alone should be the release we aim for in RHEL7.2.
The redesign for GNOME notifications is a huge win for both customers and CSB users.
