See http://exde.org for a similarly failed launch of a GNOME 2.x fork. By the time anybody gets something like that off the ground and into the mainstream distro repos, I expect most GNOME users would already be satisfied by the state of GNOME 3.x and others would be using a alternative or a distribution with a long updates cycle ( RHEL 5.x/6.x or rebuilds for instance). In the end, I just don't see much space for a fork of GNOME 2.x. Hey, if someone wants to prove me wrong, go ahead.
