GNOME 2.0 was never a supported product from Sun, just a free download for anyone who was interested. (I'm not sure if the reduced_resources flag even existed in 2.0, I forget off-hand.) For 2.6, a supported product, we had to support Sun Ray installations, which generally benefit from the reduced_resources flag being set. There's also still a lot of old Sun hardware out there (even more so back when GNOME 2.6 was released), on which GNOME runs a *lot* less smoothly than CDE. So the reduced_resources flag was just set by default to provide the smoothest experience for as many of our users as possible.
