While I have no issue with gnome-shell, I have read enough reports of people not happy with it to know we would head to a 2nd kde 4.0 story.

3 is rumored to have a lot of ideological change, and probably the usual GNOME removal of working stuff that people expect to be there (GDM config). It would be very nice to have a tool to switch back and forth for experimentation, at least a minimal list of things from each release that can be removed via rpm --nodeps prior to reinstalling the other release, so that urpmi doesn't try to remove the world to make the change.
