At the moment, the fallback environment is working well on XO-1 in my testing. It's really not that different from before - nothing has mysteriously disappeared like people seem to think. Actually, the functionality has grown, because some new GNOME 3 work (e.g. control center) is available on the "old" applications menu. That's not to say that things won't get worse in future, or that wider testing won't throw up some issues, but at this point, I doubt the "two paths, what's our alternate desktop?" discussion would be productive. There isn't a driving force for us to change direction from the one we've been following for the last few years.
