GNOME 3.8 to drop fallback mode

I actually fully agree with you. The GNOME developers are quite free to pursue their vision (at least, the employer of most of them doesn't accept money for GNOME 3 support/influence to date). I was replying to someone who seemed to suggest it was a conspiracy theory to suggest fallback mode removal was motivated by the GNOME 3 one true way.

That's not to suggest they're not entitled to do that.
