 > Accessibility should be in core.

 Core already makes what I'd consider to ba a 'good' accessibility effort.
 What we're talking about here is a full-fledged, high-contrast alternative
 theme to the Dashboard that would be used by a minority of users.

 > Enhanced accessibility should also be an install option so that the
 first user created has the enhanced accessibility admin theme from the
 beginning. IMHO.

 I agree with @helenyhou that this should be in a plugin, though I would
 extend that statement to mean a core-supported plugin, maybe with a
 similar experience as you get from visiting Tools > Import and being
 prompted to install the Importer.

 I've seen several discussions about using a plugin to apply alternative
 admin themes and I think it's an idea that should be explored (maybe in
 3.6). It would open the door for just such things as an accessibility
 theme like this.
