It's a bad practice to have different versions of GNOME software in the
same system, since GNOME is thought to have all the GNOME Framework using
the same version. But ok, let's limit it about upgrading Nautilus/gEdit for

Yes, but it's just for me and it doesn't have support from Ubuntu. I'm
asking to Ubuntu to upgrade them for all. If I compiled it by myself, I'd
rather compile last versions, i.e. 18.1.
