I think we're also trying to move it upstream as a coordinated componant
in a matrix of devices requiring support from the bios through the
desktop. Indeed, there is a releated FSG project now getting under way
in the new Accessibility WG I chair under FSG.
Meanwhil, modularized Speakup is good stuff and much needed today. I
would venture to say that we listened when we were told "modularize it."
However, are we waiting for perfection in any product to put it in the
distro? I suspect not. So, please accept our significant progress with
the strong assurance that we share the larger, more long-term goal to
"move upstream."
If video belongs in the kernel, so does Speakup.
