How about this for a proposal:
Have gnome shell obsolete gnome-panel < 2.90 and require gnome-panel,
metacity (since it needs these for fall back). I think that will do what
you want. (Note there isn't a 2.9x version of metacity, so you obsoleting
that gets a lot trickier.) As long as gnome-panel-2.9x isn't packaged
in F13 or F14 as an update this should work.
