At this stage of the release the a11y team should not be
finding out about new UI after the fact. In fact, the sooner
we hear about UI changes the better.
What else is looming now? We just got submarined by the new
theme and the new feed subscription header, which both have
accessibility problems.
So we're near the end of the release and have done tons of
development and testing work to make it accessible. These
surprises are really annoying since the a11y team is so easy
to reach on IRC, bugzilla, email, etc.
