FTR, the results of our hardware support tests of GNOME 3 in Jessie were good, and our feature/jessie branch has been shipping GNOME Classic for a while (that is, GNOME Shell with a few extensions that make it look like "good" old GNOME 2). You can give it a try if you wish: http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_feature-jessie/ > Discussing what exact flavour of the Shell we want to run by default > can happen after Jessie is frozen, and I don't see the point to spend > any time on it before we know for sure that the Shell (be it classic > or modern) is a valid option. Alan now agrees that GNOME Classic is "quite a good compromise", so unless someone else wants to take over #7558 and lead this discussion, that's what Tails/Jessie will support. (And if you want to take the lead on that discussion, better do it ASAP, because a lot of work we're doing these days on this front relies on GNOME Classic to some degree, and the more we wait, the more work will need to be re-done.)
