Red/Green "LED"s in GUI are useless to screen reader software. Please Add ALT TEXT!!!

L2 Linker

So, Panorama and NGFW both use Red and Green status "lights" to denote interface, IKE, and IPSec status.  Typical coding, but for someone who sees Red and Green differently (Technically in 1970s speak "Minor Red/Green Color Deficient", a.k.a. "ColorBlind") the GUI colors are useless.  They didn't even use a light enough green like a lot of other companies have done, so I can't judge on a greyscale.  I either have to drop to CLI and issue a series of arcane commands, have someone look over my shoulder, or follow the URI of the graphic to see if it ends in "/green_led.png" or "/red_led.png".

As someone who has spent time in Web Coding, I am extremely aware that this doesn't meet modern accessibility guidelines, however I am having trouble tracking down how to submit a feature request to ask the nice developers to include the recommended Alt Text that modern content should include.

Can someone at Palo point me to the correct contact information to lodge this suggestion/request?
