This isn't big news, speakup works just fine the way it is up to and
including 2.6.21.6. I would not be at all surprised therefore if
slackware were to drop speakup by their next release, if the current
issues with speakup weren't fixed by that time. It would surprise me
greatly though to see a distro's team of maintainers take it upon
themselves to cure speakup's serial code and other problems, just so
they could include a speakup-patched kernel in their next
release. Note, I am not saying myself that speakup has problems, I
haven't looked at the code for a while. I'm just repeating what others
have said on this in the past, so no flames if you please.
