I think users upgrading from a previous release can continue to get the
fallback mode unless they do a group installation or try to install
GNOME Shell specifically.
How so? When we included KDE 4, we didn't leave users on KDE 3 on
upgrade.
Similarly, when a user has GNOME installed (and yes, the gnome-panel
is GNOME), and they upgrade, they'll get the current version of GNOME.
And that's GNOME Shell.
