Yes, that's what Stefano was talking about when he said GNOME Classic through 
extensions.

In any case, that's not really going to help. GNOME3 is still way to different 
from GNOME2 for the average joe. People just want to get work done and not play 
around with their desktop. It has to be at least unobstrusive as possible.

Cheers,
