    I remember a blind person posting to the Gentoo mailing lists for install help a couple of years ago. They were having considerable issues getting screen reading working at the command line so that they could continue forward from there. Yeah, definitely a fair number of bugs that aren’t being prioritized at the level they should be.

      It is a difficult catch 22. When there’s so little resources and manpower it is more effective to work on the issues which affect most people so that the user base grows. When the user base grows there will be more contributors which will have time to fix the accessibility issues for the minority of users. But at some point those issues need to be addressed and the question is when.
