Okay since you seem to think I rant I'll do an itemed list, sound good? 1) From previous debates on the list, Echo specifically does not target being accessible - that is perfectly okay but it makes it a less appealing choice as the new default. 2) Originally the solution proposed was making it easier to replace the entire set of artwork for all the distro - however I believe we should have good defaults on top of this solution.[1] 3) Decisions like targetting a11y by default should be set as a common goal (even if an undeclared one right now AFAIK), thus we should all take it into serious consideration. I'm some what saddened that the artwork team does not appear to take this group of people in account when selecting defaults. 4) Filing bugs against Echo is pointless on this issue since the design specifically excludes accessibility concerns. The same goes for the occasionally odd use of emblems[2] 5) What looks good is subjective, what works for people with sight impairments is at least something we can take into consideration[3] 6) Making a spin specially for handicapped people is a wrong solution and gives the impression that handicapped people are second class citizens in Fedora. Opt-out is a better option, especially given the many untested codepaths it will create to default to off and focusing QA on that. This is not however an artwork decision, it was merely brought up and as such deserved an answer. - David [1] I'll file bugs against components I know are hard to theme currently, I merely assumed this was an artwork team task since they provided the suggestion in the first place so I was under the impression this was already done. [2] There seems to be mixed use of symbols to indicate new and add, I filed a bug once upon a time on this and was told this was also by design. [3] Naturally we can't fix all the problems with one set but we can select a good set of defaults to hit the greatest common benefactor, GNOME already ships high contrast themes and other a11y icon themes for many cases that do not fit in the GCB catagory.
