I assume most of the main distros will be switching to Gnome 3
(Shell), since it's finally been released.
Also, I know that Gnome 3 and Gnome 2 have very different
requirements, so it could be very hard to support both out of the box
and Gnome 2 will be the one to be dropped. (This is why you can't test
Unity and Gnome-Shell together)
So this could make it hard to find a distro that still supports gnome
2 out of the box.

No doubt you'll be able to install it after the fact if you want it
though, kinda like how you can add KDE etc.

Thanks,
~Stephen
