I think users upgrading from a previous release can continue to get the
fallback mode unless they do a group installation or try to install
GNOME Shell specifically.
A upgrade needn't pull in GNOME Shell.
No users upgrading should not get a degraded user experience (that is
what the fallback supposed to be),
to save a few MB of disk space for some users that care about every
single MB on their hard drive.
