Actually, Red Hat do maintain accessibility-related packages for their
distribution (such as Gnome/Orca) and they've contributed in the past to Gnome
accessibility, so I think it's wrong to claim that they have no interest in
the issue.

If they don't hear about it from customers or potential customers, or from
people who seek certification, it won't register strongly among their
priorities. This is why I would encourage anyone interested in certification
to contact Red Hat about their accessibility needs.
