Hi, Darrell. It is vary unlikely that Red Hat will resume speakup support in the next update to Red Hat when you take in account what happened with 8.0, and the reasons they dropped speakup in the first place. My take on it is Red Hat is looking at other accessibility options such as gnopernicus which may ship as early as this fall/winter on the next releases of Red Hat and with the Gnome 2.4 desktop. Unlike speakup gnopernicus has full support for software speech, and will apeal to MS Windows users which just can't adapt to a commandline like you and I can.
