The last part of your sentence explains it really well "assumes that the
newest will be best". That schedule defined by Canonical was created for
a reason.  A collateral effect of those branches not being ready for the
feature-freeze is also that it those branches will not have that
beta-testing period. That schedule defined by Canonical was created for
a reason.  They define a feature freeze, in order to have a proper
stabilization process after it. People deserve a11y features properly
implemented, tested and stabilized.

If something is including on a Ubuntu release, means that was properly
implemented and tested. Take into account that in my original mail I
didn't say "so the people could use them", I said "so the people could
test it".

And said so, thanks for your interest.
