Comment (by rianrietveld):

 FYI: Accessibility test of Select2:
 https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/09/07/accessibility-
 usertest-select2/

 The main problems are:
 * No or not enough feedback for screen readers on what is selected or what
 can be selected (list items are announced as “blank”.)
 * No feedback about how many search results.
 * The select dropdown does not behave like a user expects
 * Select2 has at the moment too many accessibility issues to be included
 into WordPress core

 We opened an issue on the Select2 GitHub:
 https://github.com/select2/select2/issues/3744
