From my reading of "GNOME 3 Myths" http://live.gnome.org/GNOME3Myths, Gnome 2 functionality will be perfectly present.

Someone (or some distro) that wants to run a Window and Panel environment as it exists in Gnome 2 is free to do so.

That still leaves the discussion of how Canonical is telling developers not to rely on the notification area when it is still the default mechanism in Gnome.

Are developers able to get their applications working in the application indicator currently?

In any case, Ubuntu's quasi-official intro to the topic is here:
