@aral Again, I agree that accessibility is of utmost importance and that cultural changes are needed to emphasize it from the beginning. I just think systems that need some non-default configuration for a functional screen reader are importantly different than "operating systems without a functional screen reader".
Both X and Wayland have limitations that in some use-cases make them not viable. Until Wayland catches up, we each get to decide if we prefer Wayland's bugs or X's bugs.

@aral AFAIK all of the major distros still support using an X session, even if Wayland is the default, so screen reader users and others with needs not yet met by Wayland can still use X, right?
(This is not to detract from the importance of accessibility!)

I'm very slightly more active here than on the bird site (where, in my first 5 years, I posted twice, both times in response to public radio stories).
