One possible explanation is that speakup 2.0 is still being tested, and
if people are just able to turn off cursor tracking there may be less
problem reports and more work arounds. I expect that Kirk wants the
cursor tracking to be robust and if people are just turning it off then
it isn't getting tested. This, of course, is all just a guess on my part though.
