   “For those wanting to build a Wayland-only Linux desktop experience without carrying any aging X11 baggage, GNOME 47 will be able to optionally offer Wayland-only support without carrying X11/X.Org support.”

   How cool… does this mean there’s now a fully functional screen reader for Wayland-only GNOME or should we tell people who rely on screen readers to just suck it up?

     Not sure whether this gets merged already to be part of the release of GNOME 47. But it seems there have been changes to Orca for that release.
