Maybe, maybe not. 

I've read, from more than one source, that G2 will no longer work on 
Ubuntu, hence its removal though admittedly this also has a lot to do 
with the Ubuntu folks deciding they hated G3 and going off down the Unify 
track: maybe they've decided that Unify is now stable enough that 
alternatives aren't needed.

With F16 Fedora moves to Kernel 3.x and completes its transition from 
using System V init to control boot-up and services to using systemd. As 
a result systemctl replaces 'service'. This in turn means that the daemon 
scripts in /etc/init.d become toast and are replaced by systemd service 
unit definitions. With G2 no longer being maintained (not that gnome.org 
was doing much to support it for the last year or two) and the relatively 
large number of fundamental changes going into F16 I wouldn't be 
surprised if it stops working under F16 too. At a minimum, a lot of stuff 
in the 'System' menu won't work any more.
