Ubuntu shows more and more interest in Qt, it is now official in the form of integrating Qt libraries in Ubuntu cd's, and as Shuttleworth puts it [1] they'll have to make room for this to happen, at the expanse of what ? Unless they ship on dvd instead of cd or create a separate Gnome spin (which will come anyway from the "anti-unity" crowd), they will have a hard time fitting everything on one live-cd. Gnome is probably going to change a lot with shell, from a timing point of view it makes sense to take this decision now that Gnome is about to enter a period of extensive changes (and probably some instability) in the fashion of what KDE did earlier. Just speculating.
