redhat problems

[Janina Sajka]

I expect Speakup in the next version, which should be out in about six months. The early beta versions should be out in about two to three months. I expect other,
accessibility-related applications will be added as well.

However, I have no special knowledge that this will be the case. This is just my opinion.
