Comment (by knutsp):

 Yes, a very small minority would need a high-contrast admin theme. But
 their need is more bad than usual. Analogy:

 Core has installed an escalator which is a good accessibility effort for
 those who might get exhausted by using stairs all the way up. It might
 even let you order an elevator to be operataional. Just remember to call
 in advance and use the kitchen entrance.

 I say install the elevator now and put up a clear sign to point to it.

 Thatss real accessibility. Other ways are "access is possible". If I was
 visually "impaired" I would look for accessibility, not just possibility.

 I usually advocate putting marginal/edge functionality into a plugin, but
 accessibility is not such. You can download a completely localized
 Norwegian version of WordPress. We are a 5 million minor outpost in Far
 Northern Europe. But 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide
 (WHO). Let supporting those be a pride of WordPress core.
