Well, is there something specific you want to know? About the only
thing I can tell you is because CentOS is largely using Enterprise
packages like Red Hat Enterprise the accessibility stack is extremely
old. From what I can tell CentOS 6.3 is still using Gnome 2.x and
at-spi 1.x, and they are way behind in terms of modern Orca
dependencies etc. This isn't unusual for Enterprise Linux as every
Enterprise system I've seen over the last couple of years is way
behind in terms of VI access packages where distributions like Ubuntu
try to stay on the bleeding edge of things.

Cheers!
