by the way, mint is doing it exactly right IMHO:
"What we’re sure of, is that if people aren’t given the choice they will be 
frustrated and our vision of an Operating System is that your computer should 
work for you and make you feel comfortable. So with this in mind, Gnome 3 in 
Linux Mint 12 needs to let you interact with your computer in two different 
ways: the traditional way, and the new way, and it’s up to you to decide which 
way you want to use. "

This is so true!
further:
"For this, we developed “MGSE” (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions), which is a 
desktop layer on top of Gnome 3 that makes it possible for you to use Gnome 3 
in a traditional way. You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure 
Gnome 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a Gnome 3 desktop that 
is similar to what you’ve been using before. Of course you can also pick and 
only enable the components you like to design your own desktop."
The Mint Gnome Shell Extensions seems to re a really good way to give the user 
the choice between traditional and new GUI methods, the user is in full control.
The reactions there http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=1851 are also very positive.
