There will be a gnome-panel 2.32/3.0 release anyway. The plan was to do
that in parallel to 3.0, and so I didn't see the need for 2.32.

That would be my question :-)

Actually, doing something like 2.32 might be harder than what you expect
since some libraries might break API and I doubt their maintainers would
want to maintain a 2.x and 3.x branch.

It's a stable release of the 2.x branch, but it's definitely aimed to be
a big step towards 3.0 from a technical point of view -- I wouldn't call
that a preview release since that implies "unstable stuff not for
users".s

I guess this was really a question for the a11y for at-spi-dbus vs
at-spi-corba? In this case, I think they're doing the right thing by
focusing the work on at-spi-dbus and still making it possible to use
at-spi-corba: in this case, the preview vs stable question is kind of
valid, and both will be provided.

Or is this question also important for other things?
