First thing I look at when checking out a new shinny GUI toolkit of the month is whenever it has support for a11y features. In this case, it's not even on the roadmap.

My guess: a11y work always needs to be sponsored (indirectly) by gov't consulting contracts, similar to new cipher suites in OpenSSL. Why is a11y a deal-breaker for you?
