I pointed this after the new modulesets were pushed, you can read the
answer Jon gave here:

The relevant part:

|
| A few problems here with all of these.  They don't match the designs,
| don't really make sense except as part of the core (universal access
| requires it), don't work in/with the shell, don't integrate well with
| other core components and technologies (i18n, input methods, etc).
| Much discussion about this at GNOME Summit.  At this point successful
| a11y is really a non-starter with the toolkit support we currently
| have.
