I still think Trisquel should use GNOME Shell by default and offer LXDE (Trisquel Mini) for those who want a lightweight system. The big reason GNOME is being used is accessibility, right? Wouldn't GNOME Shell be better for that? I guess it might be just knowing how to use it, but it seems to me that GNOME Shell has better keyboard support than GNOME Flashback.

The worst case with using GNOME Shell I can imagine is that people notice that the system is slow; it's really not that big of a deal to tell those people that Trisquel Mini is a better choice for them. Even if you need GNOME's accessibility and GNOME Shell doesn't run very well on your system, couldn't you just install GNOME Flashback yourself, after installing the GNOME Shell version and dealing with a little slowness for a short while?
