Well, of course. But that's all the more reason for us to start
collecting the information about which devices do work, and which ones
don't. In addition to serving the community by steering us
appropriately, this kind of information will help us on the legal
accessibility front where some new laws can help to push how twhat those
programmers do.

Besides, there are at least as many ways to render the device
environment unfriendly to Orca. So, please recognize there's no panacea
here.
