Alex, I appreciate your enthusiasm but I think for the "legacy" use case
GNOME 3 Classic Mode covers this. We would end up having a redundant
product if we ship both Classic Mode and MATE.

If you have specific ways in which Classic Mode can be improved, the
desktop team is happy to gather feedback and see if we can do something
about it.
