e-d-s is currently part of GNOME Core, and Evolution part of GNOME apps.

Regarding coordination of a potential separate release Evolution
schedule and the official GNOME release schedule:
If I get it right, unstable GNOME releases between March and September
(3.13) would need to use the latest stable e-d-s version (3.12), while
unstable GNOME releases between September and March (3.15) would need to
use the latest unstable e-d-s version (3.15). 
If the amount of e-d-s code changes in those six months of not following
the unstable e-d-s development have been huge, developers of modules
depending on e-d-s would need to be aware of giving priority to "porting
to e-d-s unstable API" for the first weeks of the new GNOME development
cycle?

Furthermore, release-team and translators would need to know which
versions to ship / concentrate on.
