Comment 2 for bug 574915

Lucid is the most accessible Ubuntu release in at least two years, maybe the most accessible ever. Many blind users stayed on Ubuntu 8.04 for two years, skipping the less stable releases in between. I believe this pattern will continue, and the blind will rely on Ubuntu Lucid far more than typical users over the next two years. However, Orca is progressing very rapidly. I believe we will be happy to test Orca new releases on the Vinux derivation of Ubuntu Lucid to help insure the stability of orca package upgrades. I hope that Ubuntu Lucid will be able to move forward for the blind over the coming two years, rather than staying back the way Ubuntu Hardy did.

Thanks,
Bill
