Dozens of people wanted back the old Gnome 2 (including myself), whined (not me), but to no avail. All the answers were all no. Arch is not going to support (or even ship) packages that are out-of-date. The current solution is to use the since-developed MATE and Cinnamon derivatives. But I'm just a user, and these are my thoughts, not completely matching the arch developers' ones. -- Temlin Olivér
