I agree that focusing on improving a11y for the gtk3 variant (gtk3 "VCL 
plugin", which uses ATK) for Linux sounds like a reasonable approach for 
production use for now until GTK4 a11y matures.

Besides that, I am also looking a bit into improving a11y for the Qt 
based VCL plugins, but that is far from being in a usable state as of now.
