Stock Gnome experience

[Narcis Garcia]

I feel strange that Ubuntu-Gnome project disappeared only because main
Ubuntu uses now more Gnome components.

Ubuntu from v11.10 to 17.04 with Unity really was with a very patched
Gnome environment. Current default desktop still seems same Unity
because it's still a patched Gnome.
Could this new desktop be considered as a Unity 8.1 because of real
software components?

Why Ubuntu Gnome project abandoned main principle to be «mostly pure
GNOME desktop experience» and then the project abandoned project itself?

I think an Ubuntu GNOME (real) flavour has fully sense today, and it
seems even easier to maintain.
