Sure. One can't free everyone anyway, there will always be somebody who
can not use the software, even if it is made accessible.

I agree.  My point of the GHM talk was that I believe that the GNU
project has pretty much succeeded there in the past decades, and it's
probably now high time thinking about accessibility, to make sure that
we try to avoid leaving users behind.

To come back to the actual point of the audio-video list (I don't know
what the start of the discussion was there, actually), perhaps it would
be useful to add a clarification paragraph at the beginning of the text
transcript, to explain what was actually (confusingly) meant?
