I think we may need to make exception for some accessibility services
(those judged suffiently mature, and of general interest, etc.), as was
discussed at yesterday's release team meeting.

The primary candidate at this time, in terms of API stability and
maturity, and because it does include a useful standalone binary, is
gnome-mag.

I would also consider at-poke for the 'developer' platform since it's a
very handy developer tool w.r.t accessibility.
