This is indeed awesome news for the community, and it's great to see that the people who did the AT-SPI/DBus feasibility study are the ones that will be doing the work.
Some of the major impacts of this work include: 1) Releasing accessibility from the shackles of the out-of-style CORBA/Bonobo technology and into the hip with-it DBus space. 2) Unifying accessibility infrastructure across KDE and GNOME, paving the way for users to be able to use one assistive technology to be used to access both desktops. 3) By shedding CORBA/Bonobo, it helps enable accessibility solutions to migrate to the small device and embedded space.
