While I haven't done the testing myself, there seem to be accessibility
methods (i.e. I used find-in-page for "accessibility") on both RecyclerView
[1] and RecyclerView.LayoutManager [2], and I'd expect Google to implement
that functionality before a final release.

I filed a bug [3] for testing purposes, once we've actually replaced one of
our implementations.
