I submitted a bug report to oneiric beta this morning due to the fact
that i was unable to switch the Unity desktop off and revert to
standard gnome. I assumed that it was an oversight. Apparently not.
This is the answer I recieved:

That is not possible in Ubuntu 11.10 and there is no chance for gnome-
panels coming back. the most close you can get is install gnome-session-
fallback and login to that session.
** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
This is quite untrue, gnome-panel is still there, (ported to GNOME3),
and you can just install "gnome-panel" (which isn't there by default
from Oneiric), which will pulls gnome-session-fallback (this later
recommends gnome-panel to avoid circular depencies, ensure you install
recommends by default if you install the other way around).
Then, after a logout, (or maybe rebooting, not sure if lightdm is
restarted and will pick the new session before unloading/loading again),
while you are logging in lightdm, click on the icon next to your name
and you should get a "Gnome classic" session which is gnome-panel +
<your default window manager> (which is compiz by default in ubuntu) and
"GNOME fallback (safe mode)", which is gnome-panel + metacity (the real
GNOME fallback upstream).
Note that the panel has a very close upstream experience now, and it's
gnome-panel as you will find upstream.
If this doesn't work for you, please open a bug :)

My mood is now swinging between anger, frustration, and dismay.
Until this morning, I was under the impression that Canonical was to a
large extent user driven. Clearly, they have a different impression
than I about the popularity of Unity. Everyone I heard from thought
it was an interesting experiment which might someday grow into a
usable session manager. Most disliked it, and I know of no one who
actually USED the damned thing. Either they elected to forgo the
upgrade to Natty, or, like me, simply switched to "Classic". A few
actually re-loaded 10.10 or switched distro versions.
This reply makes it sound like changing my distro choice is the only
long-term solution if I desire to glance at the top of my screen and
see how my network is running. Cannot Canonical see that Unity is a
giant step backwards in usability? What's wrong with letting me
choose?
As you can see, we invested some time in Natty for creating this
"Classic" mode (and believe me, it wasn't that easy, on particular on
compiz and gnome-session side and it took multiple hours to get it
right), and the same for Oneiric.
