--- Comment #10 from Christophe Strobbe <c_strobbe-fdo at yahoo.co.uk> ---
@Xisco FaulĂ­ I don't understand the reasoning behind the change in priority.

First, I don't understand what "duplicates" refers to. (Duplicates of what?)

Second, I don't understand the lack of awareness about the increasing
importance of digital accessibility. The EU Accessibility Directive, which
applies to public sector bodies, has been in force since September 2018. The
European Accessibility Ac, which was approved this year, will also apply to
industry. As a consequence, tools that don't produce accessible PDF will lose
users in both public sector bodies and in industry. That is not the direction
we want to move in with LibreOffice. In fact, the priority of all LibreOffice
accessibility bugs should be increased, not decreased, due to the above changes
in EU legislation.
