This certainly isn't necessary for inclusion in fedora extras, or even
always a requirement for core. The point about i18n/a11y and other
issues such as those at 
http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/desktop/defaults.html
are really about selecting the defaults.

The developer.gnome.org a11y pages are probably the best source of info.

I'd say fvwm is an obvious and uncontroversial addition to fedora
extras, and would be unlikely to appear in fedora core.
