Yes, and this is why we ship and support “GNOME 3 classic” fully.  It
works for people with low-end machines, for those who want to keep their
3D power available for serious sh*t, and for nostalgics of GNOME 2.

Can we move on now? I don’t even understand how a *one-time warning*
explaining a user that his desktop will look different from what he
might obtain on another Debian machine can even be a serious topic of
discussion for debian-devel.
