I replaced some gnome3 packages with gnome classic packages from Nushio's new repo

Beautiful Gnome 2.32 panels, much better than the default black background / white text atrocity in 3. I will probably stick with Fedora 14 until it's EOL. Also looking forward to his methods of "making gnome 3 suck less" in a separate repository.

Hmmm.

Ok. Question is, will it survive updates?

It shouldn't be that troublesome IMO, you may have to exclude some packages whilst using updates or updates-testing.

This was posted a week ago (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=1486397#post1486397) in this forum. Glad to see someone had the guts (or nothing better to do? :p) to try it out and see that it actually does work. I just hope this puts an end to all the whingeing and bellyaching about GNOME 3. Time to move on, people! :)
