I don't think gnome3.org implies that distributions will continue to
include GNOME 2.x since obviously GNOME 2.x is not parallel installable
with GNOME 3.x and they can't make promises on behalf of distributions. 
Some distributions, notably enterprise ones will continue to support
GNOME 2.x for years.  RHEL 6 for instance,  has a 7 to 10 year support
cycle.
