I'm not entirely sure if gnopernicus is not widely used, but if I were a
betting man (and I am), I would say it is safe to drop it as well.  Orca
is heavily developed and has lots of tight integration with other
products, including the upcoming FireFox 3.0.   (They've been testing
against nightly builds of FF daily and Orca users are raving about what
FF can do for them now.)  It is my advice that we advise our users to
use Orca, as it simplifies our AT infrastructure, in my opinion.
