Since MATE is just a continuation of the gnome2 desktop, besides the Ayatana (or Ubuntu) Indicators packages I would say that 90+ percent of it is already in the book for gnome3. But I understand and I just tossed it out as an idea. How about adding gnome-flashback to the gnome section? The only other packages it would require are gnome-common and alacarte. It won't look as good as MATE but for users that prefer the gnome2 look it will only be half sh!~*}ty compared to gnome3. -Joe
