Thanks all. :)

I've made some minor changes, and removed the part of breakage Stormy indicated below and sent it to the Linux Format person.

For the most part, a GNOME 2 application can exist in a GNOME 3 environment.  We continue to maintain the same GTK+ api from GTK+ 2 although they are deprecated while providing newer API for application programmers to use.  The advantage is that applications developers can move to GNOME 3 at their discretion.  This is in contrast to the GNOME 1.x to GNOME 2.x where we broke all APIs and application writers had to re-write their applications from scatch.

I think I would remove "we broke all APIs and". It will still say the same thing.
