It is not *that* much more complex to build all of gnome, although there are some packages lower in the stack which may have tight dependencies on newish kernels, like hal. It took me ~1.5 days to get the recent 2.13.90 release of Gnome into rawhide. It is more a result of limited resources, which we prefer to spend on the next release, rather than the previous one...
