To me, its more of a polling to catch sense of user base. Its just one of many threads that have expressed concern over Gnome3 in Fedora. I completely understand and agree that it is a matter of resources and, in a volunteer situation, there needs to be a critical mass of volunteers who wish to do it rather than something else. The real question in your answer is obvious enough that I need to answer it. I haven't volunteered as I am not qualified to be able to make a positive contribution (I am certain I could break alot of stuff and nobody wants that). So long as all of these threads about Gnome3 and Fedora 15 are catching the ears/eyes of the developers, I am crossing my fingers that F16 will address issues the user base is expressing so that the Linus-blanket of continued support for F14 will be a moot point.
