It's not me who is setting the agenda here, its mostly the X/video folks whose plans that are. Note that droppping the console does not necessarily mean there would be no replacement for rescue/admin purposes, that does not depend on the full X stack. That would probably live in userspace though. But then again, I probably should not comment too much about the X/video plans, given that I dont really work on that. > Users need the consoles, and thus speakup, after logging in through > gdm for several reasons.

Right. So why not fix orca and make everything work fine in Gnome? I mean, lets fix things properly, not carry on with kludges.
