Please don't do that (I'm asking as user). I stopped using 2.9x GNOME
because I was tired of trying to check what revision of which packages
works with what revision of gtk+/gobject-introspection. 

"Compile everything from git" may require users to downgrade packages
from time to time as, for example, gedit requires gtk+ 2.90.6 while
webkit requires <2.90.6 (historical example).

Unless there will be some 'stable' releases of GNOME 2.9x (i.e. those
which at least build against each other & work for some wide definition
of work) I am certain that I won't bother with trying it - and I would
be surprised if many other would.
