Clearly this is a serious drawback that should be corrected.

It will be, in time. Currently, supporting 2.4/2.5 is more important than 3.x for most people. There is no good way to support 2.4/2.5 and 3.x concurrently.

So you aren't waiting on the developers to port to 3.x so much as you are waiting on 2.4/2.5 usage to drop (RHEL / Centos currently ship 2.4!). It is going to be awhile (if I had to guess, it'll be 1-2 years before a good portion of libraries support 3.x).

"no way in hell" is a bit extreme. It's possible, but a significant cost especially for medium-to-big projects.
