So you agree, it's unneccessary.
For me to need at-spi*. Point made.
I think the point was at-spi is part of GTK, but this part is not
something it is reasonable to package separately,
It was packaged seperatly in F<=17
such as a language
package or some esoteric locale.
Bleachbit takes care of that.
The default GTK configuration does not
activate Assistive Technology features,
How to permamently disable with chattr +1, if required.
I am confident it is technically possible to create two GTK versions -
one with AT and one without. This would make possible all of the usual
additional complications and costs two versions of a large application
can create, compared to a single version. Bad idea.
Can see the point there.
It should also be possible to make at-spi a separately installed package,
but I expect the GTK developers decided the cost of tests to determine
whether at-spi was installed was significantly larger than the cost to
include at-spi in the GTK core.
It was in f17.
Why, then, is at-spi a separate package at all? If it were quietly
incorporated into other GTK packages, you might be more comfortable. I
suggest the separate at-spi package makes it easier to enhance and test
these Assistive Technologies, without a need to rebuild/replace the
entire GTK system.
If you want GTK, I think your only reasonable course is to accept AT (and
not enable it - the default condition that most users prefer).
No problem with it per say,
except where end-user permanently disable it.
If you really have no interest in GTK (and any of the applications that
require it) - I think there are a good number of server or dedicated
system instances that meet this condition -
I'm not using Gnome, but with cross deps it sneaks in.
you can consider some
minimal, focused Fedora installation optimized for your situation.
Hence the op.
