Note that the decision was "we go with the new GDM unless there's a
major regression". Then, Willie raised the a11y issue.

After some mails in the thread, I wrote: "So, we're going with GDM 2.20,
I guess... Is there any objection?" This was still an attempt to get
consensus from people (I guess that's were the misunderstanding comes
from, it seems), and that's why I didn't mail gnome-i18n.

Brian then stepped up to mention (quoting again): "I don't think this
particular issue should be a blocker", and saying the situation was the
same wrt a11y for the old GDM.

That made the deal for me.
