the ModuleDefLoader/DOM "downgrade" was in the GWT 2.6 release branch only (since 2.6 is strictly expected to maintain compatibility).
The GWT 3.0 branch was not changed. GWT 3.0 is more open to backwards incompatible changes and I agree/fully expect that for the 3.0 release the right thing to do will be to update the Designer code base to account for to match the GWT 3.0 release.
