No not quite. Nor can you provide it, as it doesn't exist.

Two instances of a too-tight RCE policy with no disability accomodations doesn't make a deliberate policy, nor does it constitute "many attempts" to my mind.

But, more to the point, your original message in this thread claimed the removal of Speakup from the RH 9 kernel is a result of this deliberate policy you imagine. So,
let me ask you a simple question?

When did Red Hat change from an inclusive policy to a deliberately discriminatory one? Since they decided on their own to include Speakup in Red Hat 8.0, there must
have been an inclusive policy at some time. Would you now claim they've actively and deliberately changed their minds in the past six months? How do YOU account for
Speakup in the 8.0 kernel distribution?
