I'm definitely worried about this too. It also points up the fact that
we have no accessibility release criteria, which is a bad omission, we
should add some. Would you be available for an off-list discussion to
educate me in a11y stuff so I can write up some criteria?

In RC3, with the orca dependency fixed, orca does run, and we're down to
just one warning at the console on the desktop spin when starting any
GNOME app. I'll investigate that as much as I can when I'm done with
desktop validation testing.

As Bruno says, I think sshd is not running by default. You'd have to
bring the network up and start sshd before you could connect, I'm
afraid.
