There are two issues with such a option: 1) It would be a great deal of work to get gnome2 and gnome3 to co-exist side by side, as they share a lot of things that would need to be made to work for both. 2) There are no people (or very few) willing to maintain it. Upstream is working on gnome3, all the fedora gnome maintainers are working on gnome3. If a group of interested and qualified folks wanted to work on providing gnome2 I would think it would be possible, but I know of no such group. The "Fedora decision making group" has no power to hire a team to work on gnome2. ;) kevin
