I would say: Who cares, as long as people can just switch between both implementations via package management or a menu option.

But this is GNOME. There is no choice in GNOME.

How about: Go troll elsewhere.

Of course you can switch between Gnome 2's session with panels, metacity and everything and gnome-shell with mutter and company. I never really saw Ubuntu's desktop in action but there's no real reason why would not you be able to switch to that as well. At least I see no reason why would you not be able to run gnome 3 shell on top of ubuntu.
