Fedora is a multi-faceted and decentralized project, meaning there
isn't a single authority to appeal to with feedback. Discussions on
this topic have been ongoing on the users and developers mailing
lists, for example.
I just want to note that I believe there IS a Gnome Classic available
in Fedora 15 and 16. I've logged in to it myself on Fedora 15, and I
understand there were improvements to both Gnome 3 and the Classic for
Fedora 16.
If what you are looking for is a Fedora Spin that has Gnome Classic by
default, there is a process for making that happen:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Spins
When there is a critical mass of interested people, they can get
together and work up a formal spin. A Fedora Remix can always be
produced without many special requirements:

Hope this helps,

I would like to say I am interested in using Fedora but am
frustrated with the new Gnome 3 desktop. I would like the older
Gnome 2/Gnome Classic desktop back. I note there are a number of
independent projects to do this (Gnome Classic
http://code.google.com/p/gnome-classic/ and Blue bubble
http://k3rnel.net/2011/06/22/bluebubble-the-fine-manual/ for
example).
I appreciate all the work that goes into designing and building
this OS for free but I think this new desktop although ingenious is
very impractical and makes it harder for people to learn and use
Fedora and will have a negative impact on support for Fedora as an
OS and therefore on support for new development.
Could we please have a Gnome 2/Gnome Classic release of Fedora
15/16 so novices like me don't have to mess around with all sorts
complications right off the bat? I am trying to learn to use
Linux with very little time available, with the intension to make
the switch from MS but things like this just make that much more
unlikely. I am a software developer and would like an easy path
to learn how to develop for Linux. Time limitations is the problem
the majority of people have to deal with so anything that makes
using Fedora more time consuming will have a negative impact on
Fedora as a popular OS.
