Hi:

We cannot switch to vte by default until vte's accessibility support is
complete and thoroughly verified.  The accessibility support for zvt is
extensive and verified, and at this time we do not have resources to do
this verification for vte.  

The verification is a significant-sized project and really only someone
like Marc who is conversant with the specific needs can effectively do
the verification.
