For me personally, I would support the addition of Gnome Flashback.
The Unity and gnome-shell concepts had shown high potential of polarizing
the community, and a relevant amount of people chose to stay on the old
gnome2 concept. Which is why Gnome Flashback came up :-)
So +1 for this.
Commenting on the implementation of this:
I don't get the advantages of dividing Gnome into two tasks (task-gnome-common
and task-gnome-desktop). Looks not easier to me.
Why not leave the original Gnome desktop untouched and simply add the packages
we want in Gnome Flashback?
