Ray, Accessibility is absolutely not going to be effected. Booting off of a recovery partition will be no different than booting off of the install Dvd. Windows laptops have come with recovery partitions for years, and they usually have an applet that will make a set of backup DVD's for you in case of hard drive failure.
My problems with this go back to viruses and security which go back to numerous bad experiences with windows recovery partitions. Also burned DVD's which can be of dubious quality and have a very definite shelflife at the best of times. I'll take a nice pressed DVD if it's all the same. I don't really expect to own another laptop ever after this one, but if some unforseen circumstance puts yet another macbook in my hands a la OS Lion, I expect it may come preconfigured with a recovery partition. In that case I'll probably delete the recovery patition and keep a good time machine backup.
