Not exactly. The goal is for the master branch to become the version
which works in GNOME 3, Unity, KDE, XFCE, and anyone else who would like
to join in. Once we have an accessible XFCE, that will be the
recommended alternative to GNOME 2 for Orca users.

Since GNOME 2 is no longer being developed, I suppose so, yes. Mind you
for critical bug fixes that are within Orca and which apply to GNOME 2,
I am still committing to the orca-xdesktop branch. But anything that is
not a critical bug fix, is going into master only.

Take care.
