That's not the plan, no.

The plan for 11.10 is to have Unity 3D by default, with Unity 2D as
the fallback.

GNOME Shell will be in the repository for installation, and I suspect
the traditional GNOME 2-panel interface will be possible too. Neither
of those will be 'default' though.

I see no reason to think you won't be able to do something similar to
that in 11.10.

Given we only just released 11.04, and UDS starts next week, where
plans for 11.10 are laid out, it might be worth waiting and seeing
what happens before jumping ship.
