Trust is relative...

Are these forks going to last?

Are they going to remain stable in the sense that they stay very much 
like GNOME's 2.x series?

Are they going to be well-supported?

I'll stick with GNOME 3, I think.  There are a lot of people behind it, 
it is improving all the time, and the GNOME Shell's extension mechanism, 
combined with the relative ease of writing plugins for it, makes it a 
(IMHO) superb environment.  Particularly with multiple heads.
