from what I remember of the conversations of the time, we cannot move to Gnome 3 because of certain Linux dependencies ...
Gnome 2 is no longer changing, and no longer being patched ... We don't have time or resources to support a Gnome 2 desktop system development fork (at least I don't and I don't believe OI devs do either) and in fact most Illumos OS's don't include a graphical environment at all. Linux Mint (I believe) are actually looking to go to Gnome 3, but with a customised theme, they cannot afford to ignore GTK3, and sticking with GTK2 means that new projects will not work for them. Linux Mint's Gnome theme does not look like Gnome 2 ... Of course some (or even all) of my ramblings could be wrong.
