a11y icon never appears in the status area

Project Member Reported by mukai@chromium.org, Jun 21 2018 
Google Chrome	69.0.3464.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)
Revision	3c26b60e3842fee660bcff5eb35aa0587d795f02-refs/branch-heads/3464@{#1}
Platform	10798.0.0 (Official Build) dev-channel eve

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) open the settings
(2) go to the accessibility
(3) enable at least one feature of accessibility

What is the expected result?
The accessibility icon appears in the shelf / status area

What happens instead?
Nothing appears


It looks like the a11y icon is dropped intentionally along with the redesign of status area / system tray, I'm a bit nervous that this might be problematic. The new spec https://gallery.googleplex.com/projects/MCHbtQVoQ2HCZXS6M2rSjiqy/files/MCG16K9U0aaVg9n6665EzXbKwMSJbxAVNpw does not say why.

This is working as intended, we are drastically reducing the number of icons displayed in the status for screen real-estate reason. Our device are getting smaller and the status tray is getting bigger. 

Accessibility will of course still appear in the system menu. My assumption would be that if the user activates accessibility option, they won't need a constant reminder in the status tray.

Assigning to Laura.
@Laura, I do not want to close this bug without accessibility approval.
Is there any accessibility use case for which the appearance of this icon in the status tray is absolutely necessary (not talking convenience, more UX-breaking use case)?

I'n looking into way to bring icons back for larger screens but currently we are optimizing for small shelves.
