Yes, we are still figuring out bit and pieces of buster, but apart from
bug 925973 [1] (filed and fixed yesterday), I am not aware of blocking
issues in the accessibility area.

Difficult to say of course, as a desktop user, I think running testing
is going well, but I understand that is different from person to person.
For stretch, everything *should* be in the release-notes [2] (there is
nothing specific about accessibility there). If you go for buster, see
below.

I am currently trying to get the release-notes for buster [3] in shape
(most of it looks like the notes for stretch). If you install buster,
please let me know (via a bug against the release-notes pseudo package)
if there is anything you find that we need to mention.
