Blind vs. mainstream distros

[Linux for blind general discussion]

I don't use emacs, and so have no interest in emacspeak, and maybe my
opinion would be different if I used braille, but while I comprehend
the need for well developed braille and speech tools and the ability
for these tools to work together for users who use both, I personally
prefer that braille and speech remain separate modules and that users
that use only one or the other have the option to install only the
tools they need.
