Article note: It's such a perfect microcosm of accessibility (and platform in general) discussions.
_Everyone involved_ is using intentionally charged language and being an asshole. Fedora is - alternately - entirely controlled by IBM or just some poor volunteers doing a community project, depending on which is narratively useful. "Patches welcome" is pretty reasonable for hobby projects... but less so after they tossed a scheme that the worked for affected users, and even less so for commercially supported projects right under a banner declaring how they're making accessibility a priority. The old "bad" X11 system is janky but works, but the new "better" Wayland system is so poorly thought out and inflexibility "securitized" it's not clear if it will ever be able to reach feature parity without an extensive redesign that will undercut other promises. And so on.
