It's hard to depend on Classic mode when the maintainers of it are hostile to it and have made it clear its going to be excised ASAP - e.g. when it's feasible to software-render gnome-shell (has Fedora already switched to soft-rendered gnome-shell for fallback? They were planning to for Fedora 17).
