The last part of your sentence explains it really well "assumes that the newest will be best". That schedule defined by Canonical was created for a reason. A collateral effect of those branches not being ready for the feature-freeze is also that it those branches will not have that beta-testing period. That schedule defined by Canonical was created for a reason. They define a feature freeze, in order to have a proper stabilization process after it. People deserve a11y features properly implemented, tested and stabilized. If something is including on a Ubuntu release, means that was properly implemented and tested. Take into account that in my original mail I didn't say "so the people could use them", I said "so the people could test it". And said so, thanks for your interest. > B.H. > (happy Lucid and Maverick user who dabbles in to natty > > > On 09/20/2011 10:43 AM, Piñeiro wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm the developer working on the accessibility support for Unity-3D. >> Some comments below. >> >> On 09/19/2011 10:40 PM, Guy Schlosser wrote: >>> >>> Guy >>> P.S.
