I am really not sure right now.

"part of" in the sense that they are installed in paralell with at-spi,
or does this mean GNOME 2.30 wants to ship at-spi2 as the
default accessibility backend?
You have to understand that the switch from at-spi to at-spi2 is
very very substantial and likely will break a few things.

Additionally, upstream of a lot of GNOME accessibility stuff
has just been fired by Oracle, so this switch comes at
the worst time possible, with very little upstream support.

I am not so happy with changing the accessibility backend
beneath our asses a few days before releasing squeeze.

Personally, I'd like to see squeeze released with at-spi(1)
to ensure a decent user experience, and switch to at-spi2
in squeeze+1 development.

However, if anyone can demonstrate at-spi2 stability, I guess
a switch is fine as well.  But this needs to be tested a lot, by
people that *use* the infrastructure so that we can be sure we havent
missed anything.
