Why? And what would be the benefit?

Cannot agree with this. When F-13 is released, F-12 is history except
for bug-fixes, security updates, and occasional upgrades that incorporate
improvements for issues reported for F-12 and older. To bring "most
software" in F-12 and F-11 in sync with F-13 is beyond the scope of
creating distribution that is preparing and testing a new release every
six months. If somebody finds F-(N) to be lacking, there is F-(N+1).

Where to start and where to stop with upgrade madness? What may be
feasible for Gtk, would be a much bigger task for GNOME and other
frameworks.

You can update your packages in the current dist release and Rawhide.
