Is Getting GNOME3 really worth it? GTK3 maybe for the parts which are
required for Unity..

Several caplets have been removed, not just hiding options. (I'm sure
you guys remember the GDM theming removal "issue" :p )
In GNOME3 even fonts cannot be changed easily. If we removing easy ways
to change a details, Launchpad would be a *very* noisy for us.
I dont think we might even get it in time for our LTS schedule..
(couldnt find any info regarding that.)

If we compare the previous 10.04 LTS and what could be 12.04 LTS with
GNOME3(3.0?/3.2?), there could be a lot of feature parity. 
Maybe it is better we wait for Gnome3 to mature a bit more before we
jump into it..
