The fallback mode has become less and less useful as a pure fallback mode
with recent releases: it's working (mostly), but as GNOME 3 moves on,
- fallback mode mostly stays the same and the difference between GNOME 3 and
- fallback mode increases with each GNOME release.

In addition to these issues, some people would like to improve components
of the fallback mode to work differently -- but in a way that would make
- the fallback mode work more like GNOME 2, and diverge from the GNOME 3
+ fallback mode work more like GNOME 2, and diverge from the GNOME 3
vision. Those contributions are usually blocked because the goal of the
fallback mode is to provide the GNOME 3 way.
