Upstream are strange then ... they're giving away software that will break everybody's configuration and then plan to fix that for 2.0.1 when everyone will have switched ? If that's not the case, then I don't see why you want to wait for 2.0.1. As for user settings transition scripts, I wonder if we ever had such beast in the past ... Anyway unstable users should expect to have problems like that, it's not a reason to keep Gnome 2 out. And a last remark, I feel that it's better to not introduce any "*2" packages in unstable ... in experimental it's ok, since it's an add-on for tests ... in unstable, it's the main tree, no need to keep the choice. Just my 2� of course.
