I was the one that added this item (reasons below)

Thanks for all these update. But the reason I added this item was
because the other day, lamalex (Alex Launi), started to ask questions
on the #a11y channel related to at-spi and atk, as he was thinking on
the best approach related to implement atk support for a toolkit
called nux, now in use on Unity due the switch to Compiz.

So, I added the item to make questions like:

  * Now the a11y group on Unity increases to two people?
  * It is permanent?
  * Any other thing to say?
  * etc
