I don't quite understand this.

In 11.04, I can use Gnome 2 "Classic" and get indicators in the panel.

Isn't Unity in Oneiric just using indicator-applet under GTK3? Or is Unity under Gnome 3 using a different panel from the Gnome 3 fallback mode? Aren't indicators being maintained for other distros? Do these distros force their users into Gnome Shell, not allowing them to use indicators in fallback mode?

Sorry for the many questions. I'm trying to understand why indicators wouldn't work in Gnome 3 fallback panels.
