When he was still alive, Bill Acker routinely built Fedora kernels that included Speakup, both before and after Speakup became part of staging. I know for a fact that Bill tried, and never succeeded at building Speakup into RHEL. Now Bill's been gone for a few years, but I've no reason to believe the environment has suddenly become Speakup friendly, sorry to say. No, I don't recall what the block was/were. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but it's the best answer I can provide and I don't believe you're going to find very much different info. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, of course. It'll be interesting to see what RHEL does when Speakup finally becomes a first class kernel citizen. If I understand the situation correctly, that should come fairly soon.
