No there is only *one* option:
    - An Ubuntu based distribution shipping with the current stable 
version (which happens to be GNOME-1).

I think in general there are alot of misconceptions around what is 
actually an official Ubuntu flavour.
Really it is about building a community around and then maintaining a 
particular packageset within the ubuntu archives,
for us that is GNOME3 desktop, for Kubuntu that is KDE etc... Its not 
uncommon to see comments like "whats the point
of Ubuntu GNOME, when I can just install gnome-shell on Ubuntu", and 
sure you can do that, but gnome-shell doesnt just magically
appear in the archives, it is maintained by the Ubuntu GNOME team.

That is simply not possible since we an official flavour, we simply 
cannot include PPA's in the default install.

There is no debacle here, Ubuntu will use MIR, Ubuntu GNOME and probably 
debian, KDE etc will be using wayland. Wayland will live in the main 
Ubuntu archives
