No plans to provide older versions.  You can use one of the following
things:

* Fallback mode which runs Metacity and GNOME Panel.  You can force this
setting even if your system is capable of running GNOME Shell. 
Otherwise it is only enabled in systems which are not capable

* Switch to Xfce.  Which can be configured to look and feel identical to
GNOME 2.x or try KDE or whatever

* Not upgrade and see if a future revision is more palatable to you
