On gnome-shell, we now understand there are complications with API breakage in microreleases, so we need a plan for reverse dependency shell extensions to mitigate potential regressions. Discussion at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/scope-of-gnome-mru/18041. I don't think we can proceed with the gnome-shell microrelease update until we have a plan for this.

I don't think it makes sense to proceed with yaru-theme either until this is resolved, since I understand that's based on the gnome-shell update that is not concluded yet.

I don't understand why yaru-theme needs to be updated, either. I see that this has been done for yaru-theme once before, but I've found no explanation as to why. The current queue diff has:

+The `gnome-shell/upstream` directory is just for documentation and
+to allow three way merges when updating to new versions of gnome-shell,
+and it is not used for generating the final packages at all

If this isn't used for generating the final packages at all, why do you propose to make users download an update?
