You striped my other comment. What it is now? A decision of upstream or not?
I stripped it, because I wasn't considering it a valid argument. No one keeps you from setting your default xsession and you actually should do that when deploying Debian in a large computing environment where you are the site administrator. Are you going around and install all your machines manually using the Debian Installer? Usually, people use automatic installation systems like FAI (like we do at our department) which allow you to set things like the default session and even let you avoid GNOME3 completely. If you want, your users will never see GNOME3. I am sorry, but you can't blame Debian if you are unwilling to customize the configuration to fulfill your needs.
if you don't just cut my comments but read them, you'd have all your questions already answered.
Again, Debian having chosen GNOME as the default desktop will never be a problem in a corporate environment if you as the site administrator create a configuration for your needs. The decision to turn GNOME into that what it is now was made upstream, not in Debian. Debian has just chosen to stay with GNOME as the default desktop when performing the default installation as it has been like for quite some time. And, again, changing the default desktop is a no brainer: > update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/mate-session Adrian -- .''`.
