https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Gnome_shell_software_rendering
states clearly that the fallback knob will still exist (and will
actually be converted to a tristate for some setups) and that fallback
mode will still be available for a while. It also details the
significant amount of work needed before it can be totally removed.

I don't doubt that the long term plan is to drop the fallback mode,
but for Fedora 17 it seems clear that fallback mode will still be
present.

You are right. Thanks. I had just reacted to Ajax's email, and the
thread that follows.

Unfortunate that in Fedora-devel nobody points out that useful fact.
It's more fun (and a whole lot less productive) to crank up the drama
with a binary outlook rather than a tristate.

cheers,
