Personally, I'm all for the new Yelp going into 2.10, despite a11y
regressions (yeah, it sucks, but so does throwing away all the work on
Yelp).  The only real question I have is (random idea that may be a
horrible idea or totally unfeasible, but I'm throwing it out anyway): 
Would it be possible to parallel install yelp-2.6 and yelp-2.10? 
Would writing a simple yelp wrapper that checks for a certain
accessibility gconf key before deciding which of the two versions to
launch be sane?
