At least two "distributions of note" still default to GNOME 3: Fedora and Debian.

No it doesn't. You are quoting a commit that has been reverted multiple times and never reached the archive. It's just that some news media outlets picked it up despite there not being any formal announcement of the matter.

This has gone back and forth repeatedly, as the efforts to squeeze GNOME onto CD1 progress.
Re: GNOME now Posted Nov 29, 2012 20:42 UTC (Thu) by pkern (subscriber, #32883) [Link] Which, again, has not been uploaded. The current version of tasksel is 3.14. I know that this reverting stuff is hard to understand, but it's also highly unlikely that it will be switched to xfce for wheezy (the upcoming Debian stable). It would most likely not get the approval of the release managers unless a CD1 with GNOME3 is not possible size-wise.

Then Debian is the exception that proves the rule.
Sorry, just trolling. :)

debian stable still uses GNOME2. (so does gentoo stable)

But will Debian stable get GNOME 3 (the DE) as an option before it becomes old-stable? Since the apps aren't parallel installable and it's Debian stable, I would never had expected GNOME 3 to be an option. And from what I've seen, Gentoo stable hovers between Debian's stable and testing paces, so it not appearing there isn't a surprise either. If Gentoo stable is *still* GNOME 2 a few months after Debian stable has GNOME 3, *that's* a statement with some meaning in this thread.
Basically, saying Debian stable still runs version X is like saying CentOS 5 runs version X of some application. If X is sufficiently new, it's not saying much when you're trying to see who the "laggards" are.
