kmod-staging in Fedora 23

Hi,
I'm running Fedora 23 for the last 10 days and everything looks nice,
except the only kernel in the repositories is version 4.2.6 and
kmod-staging is version 4.0.4 (from May 28th), i.e there is no
combination of kernel and kmod-staging which will allow me to install
espeakup from:
ftp://speakupmodified.org/speakupmodified/fedora/espeakup/
I found kmod-staging-4.1.4  from august 5th, but again - no matching kernel.
I looked in all rpmfusion repositories, as well as the default Fedora
one's, both development and updates.
Do you have any idea when we could expect kmod-staging-4.2.6? I assume I
should expect it first in rpmfusion development, then updates/testing/23
and finaly in updates/23.
Unless they've decided to skip 4.2 and 4.3 series, which would be a very
bad news, cause it means it won't be coming in at least another two
months. But isn't that the idea behind kmod-staging - to prepeir you for
the new kernel? So there should be no skipping.
Where could I get kernel 4.0.4 or 4.1.4 for Fedora 23?
Also, the last espeakup rpm build is for Fedora 20 - will this work for
Fedora 23?
Could I add a repository for Fedora 22 and install a kernel from there?
What will be the implecations?
What will happen, if I install a vanilla kernel from:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Kernel_Vanilla_Repositories Should I
expect problems? I expect to find speakup there, right?
Or I should compile a kernel from kernel.org? That one should be the
last resort though.
And if I have to use an unmodified kernel, how should I install espeakup
then? I.e. without the rpm package, which depends on kmod-staging.

Thanks,
Zahari
