The "short" only holds if the rest of GNOME 3 is ready as well, which you
seem to question yourself later on.
With everything more or less working in experimental, what exactly do you
fear?
Not by far. See the comments about e.g. libpanel-applet. There is an awful lot
of work to be done to get everything into shape.
IMO it's easier to explain that we dropped some applets that have
not been updated by their upstream authors to match the latest
requirements than to explain that we broke auto-mounting.
On one side testing users know what needs to be done if they want to get
their applet back (ask upstream to update their applet), in the other
there's nothing they can do except switch to unstable/experimental.
(That said I'm not the one doing the coordination work so feel free
to ignore my opinion, I just wanted to explain the kind of trade-off
that are IMO more acceptable for a "usable testing")
Cheers,
