Although for the moment Facebook did not make a clear statement about the deployment of the upgrade in any of its official pages, and as a consequence there is a lot of false information going around, experienced users know that Facebook upgrades of this size are never optional.

Besides, there are clear evidences that indicate that there will be no way to go back to the old Profile. Take a look at the article in the source to see what those evidences are.

Why would you even what to go back? Timeline is classy and looks very professional. Scrolling through pages the old way was so boring and was like using a library archive search.

Give Timeline a chance and I'm sure you will see the benefits.
