The falback mode still relies qui a lot on Gnome 3. I concede I need to 
do some more testing on a longer period of time, but on the two computer 
using a SuSE based system running Gnome 3, I had quite a lot numerous 
visual issues and got one program crashing. But some time has passed and 
there were probably updates so I need to retest.

But looking at the available environments, I'm thinking that in case 
some people really can't handle Gnome 3, there is actually Xfce that can 
be a good fallback. I'm not sure there are enough people for maintaining 
Gnome 2.32 for six extra months. I am simply cautions about releases 
that may not be really polished and stable.
