I am providing a datapoint that directly contradicts your original statement, namely that there is a "completely different target audience" for GNOME 2 vs GNOME 3.
I am that datapoint.
As are various others during FOSDEM (Vincent Untz asked people to raise their hands). No idea how representative that it.
The FOSDEM poll was stacked — no one really wanted to hurt Vincent Untz too much given his obvious efforts to be nice, there was this knot of GNOME people bunched together that were a tad intimidating, and people do not go to FOSDEM to fight. What is telling however is the complete refusal of the audience to put systemd and Gnome 3 in the same bucket. Lennart's efforts to explain his project, understand sysadmin needs, provide a smooth transition and keep current usages working clearly paid off there.
So don't overplay the GNOME 3 FOSDEM session, it was an awkward moment for everyone involved (and certainly not representative of the positive energy that permeated other presentations).
