Ubuntu Unity Desktop to go to Mir and QT

Hi, all,

 

It looks like Ubuntu's Unity desktop will be switching to QT/QML in the near
future.  It looks like they'll be using QT5.  Does anyone know the current
state of accessibility for qt5 or QML?  We were all disappointed to find out
that Unity 2d was discontinued in Ubuntu 12.04 and it is believed that
Ubuntu 14.04 would continue it's wonderfully accessible legacy.  This was
supposed to soothe our ruffled feathers when 12.10 and 13.04 came out with
Unity 3d only which was not as accessible.  Well, now, I am curious to know
if the timetable for that level of accessibility in a Ubuntu desktop will
need to be pushed back even more in light of this development.  Please see
link below:
