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.
