The simple logic is that Orca, the screen reader needs a lot of these 
new libraries to work.
If It was gnome2 as-is then I would not be using latest atspi and Orca

Never the less the performance is really very good and It is pretty 
actively developed.
I see now that raspberry pie is supported.
Happy hacking.
