Public bug reported:

The new nautilus is nice but needs some more work before being ready to
replace the old one.

Trying to document some of the reasons for the revert

- Some features have been removed that users seems to care about (upstream is 
adding back some as options in 3.20)
- Upstream identified some usability issues with the new file copy dialog which 
they are trying to address in 3.20
- The icon view canvas need more work to accomodate other zoom levels
- There are some annoying bugs that require work (symbols conflict between 
gtkfileselector and local copy), desktop background handling problems, ...)
- It's not easy to add back a menubar and we would prefer to have one under 
Unity for the LTS

The update is probably going to be worth doing next cycle but it was
decided in the desktop channel to revert for this cycle
