Apologies, I misread the documents on this.  It clearly says:

"we should not be afraid of keeping GNOME 2.30 as 2.30 and waiting for 
GNOME 2.32 for the 3.0 release"

Thank you for that clarification.  It makes a big difference!  I am now 
a bit more confident that concerns about gnome-shell and other 3.0 
additions will be handled correctly.
