The gdm config is more a missing feature due to rewrite not finished
than a removal. I am running gnome 3 since 1 month, and I didn't even
used a extension to change anything. 

My main issue is more that not everything is finished ( like I miss the
timezone clock stuff to see when to call on USAs and rest of Europa )

And again, most changes in gnome-shell are justified in the light of
newer computing experiences ( tablet, touchscreen ) but whatever people
do, there is a transition period. There is a few discutable decision
( the alt key to poweroff being the one ) but I think there isn't much,
when compared to the others good changes.
