Qt 5 contains all the accessibility code that was used for Qt 4, including
the plugin qt-at-spi which will then no longer be needed. Many things have
also been improved since we learned from finally making Qt 4 accessible.
All in all this means that the Qt 5 based Unity should be able to reach the
level of the old Unity and hopefully exceed it. Of course that's still up to
the Unity developers and probably a fix here or there in Qt, but generally I
would expect things to look good.
Greetings
Frederik
