Ok awesome that you would like to help package GNOME into Mageia :)!

There is no "at first" it is either released with 3.6.2 and stays using 
that :( or hopefully uses the GNOME 3.8 series instead for the release :)!

I finally saw all of the video of the GNOME talk last  night that I 
missed at FOSDEM, since ended up else where instead:

If people watch from 29:50 the new classic mode gets mentioend again, 
followed by how GNOME should work well enough now for most users without 
3D acceleration as well.  Before that section is also the part about how 
GNOME uses SystemD now to an extent, but it can work without that as well.

As for llmpipe I have not had loads of slowness with it when running 
GNOME Shell.

Andre by the way in your other email to this thread your message didn't 
seem to show.
