FWIW, I personally don't like calling this "fallback" and that's why I named it "Classic GNOME" in gnome-session. Sure, it's not our priority nor target, in terms of development (and it shouldn't be). But to a lot of people, "fallback" means "you'll get some ugly stuff that barely works", and while I do think we want to push people to use GNOME Shell, there's no reason to make users who can't use it feel second-class GNOME users. Using gnome-panel+metacity as a fallback is not incompatible with having gnome-panel+metacity offer a usable desktop. There are people who care about this mode, and it's up to those people to step up to make sure it will be usable.
