    GNOME Shell to support a "classic" mode
    GNOME developer Matthias Clasen has announced that, with the upcoming
    demise of "fallback mode," the project will support a set of official GNOME
    Shell extensions to provide a more "classic" experience. "And while
    we certainly hope that many users will find the new ways comfortable and
    refreshing after a short learning phase, we should not fault people who
    prefer the old way. After all, these features were a selling point of
    GNOME 2 for ten years!    "
