Hot take:
"town square" is not the best model for open public discourse, and should not be treated as the Holy Grail of social networking.

Fedora starts Accessibility project not to put an accessibility label on the site and declare that the work is done, but to call for people to join the effort and consider contributing to it.
You may choose to support this call, you may choose to ignore it.
But what are you trying to achieve by attacking it?

There is no magic wand which would make everything better if someone says something in capslock on social networks. Neither in volunteer projects nor in billion-dollar companies.
Fixing issues requires work. Work on code, work on tests, work on describing issues, work on convincing people that the issues are important, work on figuring out dependencies between underlying problems, work on building roadmaps to fix these problems..

You really need to stop your crusade.
Yes, Fedora is sponsored by Red Hat. It doesn't change the fact that it is a volunteer-driven project.
Now the whole point of doing Fedora Accessibility effort is to gather issues, collect, categorize them and provide it as a structured feedback to upstream projects like Wayland to help them prioritize and justify work on certain areas.
Your rant attacks the very people who are trying to move the accessibility forward.

Honestly, one of the most exciting things I saw in CERN was the report about the state of the OpenStack infra which stated that all hypervisors (~1600 of them) have been updated to EL 9 and they have only two remaining #CentOS 7 machines left.
This is so refreshing to see the infra team doing its job correctly and not waiting for the EOL date to start planning their migration efforts.
Unlike some of the enterprise customers, which are going to come on June 30 saying "EOL, what EOL?"

Funny how at the beginning (in Java 8 times) JVM was really bad at recognising containerization. It bypassed all the namespaced interfaces and tried to claim the entire server RAM and CPU. To the point that I had a really big fight with a head of the department at my previous company as he claimed that "Java simply won't fly in containers".
Of course it did fly in the end. But it didn't happen automatically because Java. It rather happened despite of that.

Some context:
Amazon does support the Fedora Project by providing free cloud resources to Fedora Infrastructure services.
Fedora Copr, Fedora CI and Fedora build services use AWS resources for free. It is a much larger amount of resources than just the additional mirrors.
So while the issue with the mirrors is being investigated on the Amazon side, it is unfair to complain about Amazon not supporting the project.
