Personally, it's mainly about not throwing gnome 3 HIG at people.
There's absolutely no benefit in keeping Gtk+2 longer.
Gtk+ 2.24.0 has been released 3 years ago (january, 2011) and is only
receiving bugfix due to existing apps who didn't move to Gtk+3.
Oh yes, Wayland.
By migrating more apps, we can drop Gtk+ 2.24 (at least from images),
firefox is one of the major application that prevents us to do so.

Is it possible to keep current gtk 2 face as a different
plugin/frontend?

No, but we can keep config flags for that in firefox.spec so you can
build your own package at copr. But it's realy a long term issue, a
first Firefox with Gtk3 support is Firefox 29.

ma.
My question was if GTK2 face is going to be still available at least at
the source level. (I know it's possible, since FF has different faces
for win, osx and gtk.) Or you're going to "migrate" gtk2 face to gtk3
(and completely obfuscate any attempt to use the older one; the same
thing as we've seen with gnome 2.x related applications)?

I don't think mozilla is going to remove gtk2 support, the gtk2/gtk3
port shares the same files and directories.
