Overlay still has accessibility issues (I'm not sure these are fixable). There's been a lot of discussion about how one could possible disable Overlay in order to make a site accessible.

However, I'm rather shocked that you need to have Overlay enabled in order to upgrade Drupal! Overlay needs to be optional from start to finish.

I agree with mgifford. This is where the overlay equals inaccessibility. If a Web builder wants to turn off accessibility, this is where they could do that.

FOrgive me coming late to the party but, I thought the overlay was being taken out because of it not being usable and accessible. No?

@veeliam thanks! I'm just hoping it becomes an optional module like OpenID. It's great to have, but shouldn't be mandatory.
