That's really a policy decision for the GNOME / Fedora desktop teams,
not for ajax.

But based on what they've said in the past, I expect that once most
hardware that previously needed the fallback mode is covered, fallback
mode will die. AIUI, fallback mode isn't meant to be a GNOME
2-by-stealth for Shell refuseniks, it's purely an attempt to accommodate
hardware which doesn't support Shell.
