For the record no one has stood in the way of a dbus at-spi implementation. However, while we have talked about it for years, mainly because there is strong aversion to Corba in the KDE community at least, no one has stepped up with an implementation even for testing. It should be clear that we cannot deliver accessibility to end users based on wishes or on theory. We need solid, reliable, working implementations. Until those are available in dbus, it would be irresponsible in the extreme to abandon the existing working Corba implementation. Given this obvious truth it's troubling to see Bonobo deprecated in Gnome-2.19. What is the meaning of that? If actions speak louder than words, how are we to understand a commitment to a11y in Gnome? > Please be aware that moving into dbus might be a very hard task. > Currently GNOME has a working a11y architecture while KDE has none.
