I don't know of any technical reason for it to still be at 3.0.

Until recently all of the 'core machines' were at 3.0 and probably the
assumption was that whoever upgraded those in the past would also be
upgrading atom-pc - has that changed?.

So who does own the core machines and if that doesn't cover atom-pc,
then who owns that?
