Actually, not so much.

The accessibility keyboard capplet is going to go away. Discussion isstill  
ongoing (on gnomecc-list) about where it will go, but it seems
likely there will be a unified "keyboard" or "keyboard and mouse" thingy
that those settings will be merged into.

Yes, this may mean we need to think about which options we want to expose
and how we can best present them, but I actually consider that a good
thing.

gnome-at-properties is pretty much an empty shell anyway, and as soon as
we find a way to get rid of that last checkbox it will hopefully fadeaway, too
