+It contains a number of suggestions for future development, which are 
+not entirely clear.
+Certain things suggested, if implemented, might effectively transfer 
+fallback mode to the gnome shell.
+
+Hopefully gnome 3.8 *will* transfer fallback mode to the gnome shell, so 
+that (inherently inefficient) hardware emulation is not required, and 
+gnome applications are more readily maintained in both modes.
+That would solve the major problem with gnome3.
+
+The accelerated mode could be the default for video hardware with 
+adequate capability, but even there, it should be an option.
+
+The remaining gnome3 problems will probably be solved before 3.8.
+(e.g. gtk+2 themes not working properly if at all in gtk+3, used by gnome3.)
+
+We should also consider any side-effects on other desktops which use 
+gnome components.
