That's not realistic. Distributions won't allow people to choose between GNOME 2 and 3, which means people will be forced to stick to releases that will become unsupported soon. And these people have no way to know whether GNOME 3 will work on their machine until they have upgraded and they are running the latest drivers.
There should really be a Classic GNOME that is indeed a fallback because it's not as cool as the Shell, but that works mostly as well as GNOME 2. It's OK if we lose a few weird applets, but not if gnome-panel loses significant features people will miss badly.
