(Please, don't get me wrong: I am not saying that it should be updated; I don't know whether an updated version would fare better. I am only wondering about it not being updated and the version discrepancy between at-spi2-core and libatk.)

At-spi was left where it was due to it causing some unexplained and unidentified issues with Phone/touch related work, and so it was downgraded with no questions asked. I didn't want to step on any toes, but now since the phone work is in another repo, these can be updated.
