Current problems:

Cinnamon incompatible; would need a lot of patching. I think the
decision was to remove it until upstream catches up. GNOME 3.8 also
provides "classic" mode now, which may appease some people. Alexandre?
Packages: cinnamon, cinnamon-screensaver, cinnamon-control-center, muffin, nemo

gnome-phone-manager incompatible. I think this thing is legacy anyway.
Probably gets removed. JGC?

ubuntuone-client-gnome incompatible. Seems the GSD plugin needs
patching. György?
