I wouldn't say "final": the way speakup access serial ports is to be
completely rethought. The current way it is done will just have a lot
of chances to crash if you access the serial device from a userspace
program, for instance. I doubt any kernel hacker would accept that
mainline.
(That would also permit to use USB-to-serial adapters)

Mmm, I'd say the best way would rather to write a "fake" speakup driver,
that outputs plain text on the serial port. That would let _everybody_
test speakup (including all kernel hackers), not only people that have
the hardware.
