We've said it hundreds of times, so what's once more? You can continue to use GNOME 2.x in Ubuntu in 11.04 and GNOME Fallback Mode in GNOME 3. Don't like the new stuff? Don't change. "Just use it."

That is a non-answer. You can't continue using unmaintained software safely for very long and you know it.

A less disingenuous answer would have been "switch to something other than GNOME such as KDE, XFCE, LXDE, etc."

GNOME Fallback Mode *is* *not* unmaintained. I *just* underwent 20k LOC changes in the past month, alone.

Will it be maintained fully functional in every detail for the entire service life of GNOME 3?

That's the plan.
