This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things: * GNOME3 will replace GNOME2 once it gets moved to [extra]. * GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity). * Panel applets using Bonobo aren't supported anymore and packages depending on it will be dropped. * pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop. * Some packages exist in separate versions for gtk2 and gtk3. These typically have a name like "packagename3". Examples are vte3, libwebkit3, gtkhtml4. * pygobject is now available for Python 3 in the package "py3gobject". Have fun testing these packages!

Is pulseaudio mandatory no matter what? Can it be removed if some of the packages are built custom?
I like having volume control for HDMI out. And I like that this mysterious starving audio, playing silence, glitch has disappeared. But I don't like that pulse uses so much CPU and i think it's a major reason why my computer is runn 5-8 degrees C hotter with gnome3
