Hum ... I find it a difficult proposition to ask users "to step up and 
do it" when the march of progress indicates that it wasn't the users 
that asked for this change. Change may be good, but I think alot of the 
feedback on this forum has shown that the cliche of "not ready for prime 
time" is valid for a significant number of folks hitting Gnome3 in F15.

Full disclosure comment: I have not moved to F15 because of what I have 
read on this forum. I am hoping F16 gets a better response.
