Since GDM has never had a11y turned on by default, a person with
disabilities would likely need help to set up either the old or new
GDM to work for them.  Or, if a person could boot up into console
mode with a11y enabled, then the person could probably set up the
configuration themselves.  The long-term goal is to make GDM and
GNOME in general work better for independent usage, but we're not
there yet.
