The change is being forced by the demise of Gnome 2, not Canonical.

They chose not to follow Gnome 3.

In Ubuntu 11.10 Unity is based on Gnome3. They just replace mutter and
Gnome Shell with Compiz and Unity.

To use Gnome Shell you just have to install it.


When Ubuntu prevents the easy and clean use of Gnome (2 or 3), then its time
for a new revolution in distributions. Linux is about choices, not
Canonical's marketing.

You can always choose whatever desktop environment you want in
Ubuntu. It may just not be installed by default.
