From GNOME 3.8, the so-called "Classic" desktop will be maintained by GNOME developers as a set of extensions and tweaks to GNOME Shell: Classic mode on the other hand, is using GNOME shell with a few extensions and few settings tweaks.
The result is pretty similar to GNOME 2.

Besides, I recall that, thanks to Fedora developers, GNOME Shell (hence GNOME Classic) works with software rendering only.
