 **Recap of conversation in Core Dev Meeting on Sept 21st 2022**

 Ahead of 6.1, there was a discussion around whether a version of Twenty
 Twenty-Two could be released in order for the accessibility label to be
 added ahead of WordPress 6.1's release. The reason for this conversation
 is because this would be the first block theme with the accessibility
 label added, opening up more folks to the world of block themes and
 broader full site editing features. During this discussion, it was shared
 that one of the accessibility bugs necessary for the theme to be
 accessibility ready will be fixed in 6.1 and releasing early would cause
 that fix to not be available, making the theme not truly accessibility
 ready. As a result, Twenty Twenty-Two will update alongside 6.1.
