I'm against such kind of solution.

The problem is that making special configurations for blind users leads
to endless issues for them to get their machine working. And it's
particularly difficult for a (non-technical!) blind person to manage to
do it. On the other hand, people who need to do tests & such are surely
technical, and most probably are able to see and understand what is
happening.
