There will always be the GNOME remix, and I dare say once Ubuntu stops using GNOME completely, then you will see GNOME regularly up to date in future Ubuntu releases.
I did not quite get you.
Hasn't Ubuntu already moved away from Gnome Shell?
I guess there is an official remix with the Gnome shell?
And I did not understand the relation between Gnome being regularly 
updated and Ubuntu moving away from it.
And given that the Unity is going through a complete rewrite using QT5 
would also imply that the entire accessibility infrastructure will be 
remade which won't make Unity totally accessible until next couple of years.
Is that correct?
Happy Happy hacking.
