Hi, sorry for the delay on the answer. Some stuff was already discussed,
so I will just add some brief comments.

FWIW, although I'm not sure about if the current plan is feasible (I
still have the feeling that there are a lot of thing to do), I like the
idea about having a plan. Because as you said ...

... it was assumed that that Wayland is the future, but without a real
schedule, and more important, a real feeling that something needs to be
done (ie: this bug [1] has almost two years now).

Some kind of deadline and plan (although as I said, probably will be
tuned in the future) could give us something tangible and real to think
about it (or in other words, something to be "really concerned" about).

FWIW, I have just added some comments on the accessibility section of
Wayland Gaps [2].
