Cinnamon and gnome 3.16

I see that gnome 3.16 just hit the repos.  Cinnamon is made to play nice with gnome 3.14 right now.  I'm wondering what all I should hold back to not break it.

Re: Cinnamon and gnome 3.16

I don't really understand the question. Either wait and keep an eye on the forums, etc., to see if there are any problems, like this one: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195857

or upgrade and help troubleshoot.

There is also the issue using the Adwaita theme from GNOME 3.16 in Cinnamon since the metacity theme was dropped, until muffin is properly updated.

This morning, I had to revert to the old theme package from GNOME 3.14 to reach my desktop:

$ pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gnome-themes-standard-3.14.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

See https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/4039 for details on what's breaking and how to fix. Fixing the first 2 critical issues before upgrading ensures a nice GUI environment to sort things out.
