> This will probably preclude users from using both unity & gnome-shell
in the same install??

no, it's the opposite, it means each desktop can have its version which
reduces conflicts (they are co-installable)

> if when you fork g-s-d to u-s-d it creates more significant issues in
a Gs session then maybe that should be addressed in some manner

what do you mean? the fork is create to reduce issues in Gs session (e.g
allow to drop unity hacks under GNOME and let GNOME use a more recent
version than the one that is adapted to Unity)

Bug description:
  Ubuntu/Unity uses GNOME Control Center as the application to configure
  the Unity session. We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu
  and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a
  conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be
  replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface.

  So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control
  Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a
  new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control
  Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed.

  A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be
  updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).

  A PPA for testing is https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive
  /unity-control-center
