speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, so will the new release not work with version 2.6.21 once it is released 
and does it still work eith 2.2 and 2.4 kernels as the diffv22 and diffv24 
directories are still in the cvs checkout process?  If they are no longer 
supported by speakup then why not remove them if they don't work any more? 
If they still work then by all means keep them.
