The First GNOME 3.8 Development Release

Does anyone, even just one person, anywhere, on the whole planet, actually use epiphany?

Yes, I do, because it's so lightweight but still renders the web correctly thanks to the WebKit engine. And it integrates so nicely with the rest of the system.

GNOME Fallback mode

Drop or Fix Fallback Mode

I hope they do not drop GNOME Fallback mode!
I am no fan of Unity or GNOME Shell, and really like the classic GNOME experience.

Only occurance of logind i could find was from systemd so does this mean Gnome 3.8 has an implied dependency on systemd? Or can you load logind without systemd?

GNOME doesn't directly depend on logind but the D-Bus interface which is provided by logind but alternative implementations can be used instead. GNOME already uses several such interfaces.

The GNOME Settings Daemon is now dependent upon logind for session tracking as well as suspending and rebooting the system.
