Short answer is no, and we won't be doing it. > I will narrow my question a bit.

Does my question make any sense at least? When people talk about "Classic GNOME" wrt GNOME 3, they mean the ported to GTK+ 3.x, updated to GSettings, parts of the GNOME 2.x experience. There are no plans to make gnome-settings-daemon, bits of the control-center, and whatever else core components of the desktop parallel installable. The libraries will be parallel installable so you can run your not-ported-yet applications, but core parts of the desktop won't be one of them.
