Call it whatever you want. It is a alternative in the sense that you
cannot run both at the same time. There is absolutely no technical
reason why GNOME Panel would require GNOME Shell as a dependency.

If you are going to dismiss suggestions without any explanation, why
would I bother?
I though it was obvious that requiring the user to go read the release
notes to get the expected user experience is just wrong.
If you insist that a artificial dependency is the right
way, then not much can be done about it.
It isn't ideal but the costs are few megabytes of disk space versus
the benefit of a better upgrade experience.
Unless we have a better way (which we should have to handle cases like
this), I'd take that cost.
