What will happen for other ATs that consume ark that haven't updated to
process the new role?

Orca supports it

It would be great to have user agents start using ROLE_SWITCH instead of
ROLE_TOGGLE_BUTTON.

Ideally other ATs that consume ATK/AT-SPI2 will also be updated. Which ATs did you have in mind? |

Hi Joanie, I don't think we have a way of knowing what all the third party
ATs are that might expect the API to remain backwards compatible.
On Windows we handle this by adding object attributes whenever we develop
better info. That way old clients continue to function and newer ones can
work better. Sure, it leads to some API bloat and redundant info being
exposed, but we don't have to worry about as many hair on fire moments when
we regress someone's shipping code in a stable release either.

ATK/AT-SPI2 now has a native "switch" role. Orca supports it. It would be great to have user agents start using
