Have you read today's "Brief Items" and the rant on accessibility? Sounds like "successfully running a rescue shell" is rapidly becoming a thing of the past for today's disabled users ...

I can't relate to either of the two things. How hard could it be to pass init=/bin/sh console=ttyS0 to the kernel? (ignoring the drama with non-accessible bootloaders for now)
