3.2 is reputedly better than 3.0.

I think that's a wise decision.

Debian is moving to Gnome 3.2 anyway, so we don't have a choice at this point,
unless I'm misunderstanding the situation. Gnome-shell depends ultimately on
AT-SPI 2, hence the request for the upgrade.

If you have more than one machine, I suppose you could put the relevant
Gnome-related packages on hold.
Iceweasel is the only X application I care about accessing at the moment. The
rest is not going to affect my work in any way. I run Libreoffice to convert
documents, but I do it from the shell with unoconv, which never invokes the
GUI.
I'm also interested in getting Chromium and ChromeVox running under Debian,
and ATK support for Chromium is reportedly under development as well, so there
will be more choices in the browser space soon. Webkit GTK is another
forthcoming option, but Chromium is clearly the popular candidate.
