redhat problems

[Thomas D. Ward]

No, they aren't pulling them, but they also were not breaking French
keymaps, and other things in the distro which speakup was doing.
It seams the opinion on this list, from the RH enemies, that Red Hat did
this to make some statement like, "screw all the blind people! We don't
care! We will do  this to screw them over!!!"
Such a opinion is false, and is character assassanation.  Red Hat had
specific technicaland realistic reasons for pulling speakup. If they were
out to screw us they would have yanked festival and emacspeak from the
distro as well. wouldn't they???
