Sorry?

We have GNOME fallback in 3.x. The GNOME panel appearance has been
changed to match the way GNOME shell looks, but 1) you can change that
and 2) it is maintained. Due to all the platform changes, a few applets
weren't ported in 3.0, but there will be more applets in 3.2.

A lot of work has gone into GNOME panel and GNOME applets, totally
opposite from being abandoned.
