There has been a fork of GNOME 2 intended on fixing bugs and maybe adding features in the future, and is called Mate. However, I don't know if this can be installed in Oneiric or what its current development state is. You could perhaps install Oneiric beta 1 alongside Natty and try to get GNOME 2 working, that way you can see what happens before attempting to update the whole system. I recommeded another distro as it would remove the need to install GNOME 2 (which I think would break Unity and probably other parts of Ubuntu) and you would know that the interface is officially supported with updates and fixes where necessary.

Maybe he had strong reasons for this, I don't know.
