I'm in favour of this. Even with @jtojnar what steps do you think are required? I can think of:

I am currently updating to GNOME 3.26 and want to decide this beforehand. |

I agree it's better to have one set of files updated in-place. If desired in future, an older branch could be created as copy of some past version of those files, perhaps updated a bit later. It's just easier w.r.t. version control. |

GNOME 3 was split into 3.10 and 3.12 in NixOS#2694. Unfortunately, we barely have the resources to update a single version of GNOME. Maintaining multiple versions just does not make sense. Additionally, it makes viewing history using most Git tools bothersome. This commit renames `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3/3.24` to `pkgs/desktops/gnome-3`, removes the config variable for choosing packageset (`environment.gnome3.packageSet`), updates the hint in maintainer script, and removes the `gnome3_24` derivation from `all-packages.nix`. Closes: NixOS#29329
