But unlike maglev trains, GNOME 3 will be out next year

Contrary to your implied point, maglevs have been out for a while.

Contrary to the grandparent's implied point, maglevs aren't intended to replace regular trains for the most part: they're something different. GNOME 3 is, however, intended to (fairly rapidly) replace GNOME 2. Therefore -- even if it won't be released until next year -- it is very much in Ubuntu's interest to keep an eye on it and not diverge too much.
