To be fair to grml, it already has most of those things. You do have to modprobe speakup_soft and then run espeakup to get speech. But brltty comes up automatically if you have a braille display. The grml developers have been very receptive to feedback over the years. I am a little wary of a distro that does too much. The grml developers pretty much treat accessibility like anything else -- they include it if they can. In a way, that's a good approach because if it's too hard, the enthusiasm for maintaining it is going to fade over time. On the other hand, grml hasn't had a new major release in 2 years. On the grml list, one of the developers implied that they were having trouble with their next release because of the switch to systemd. But I don't really know what is going on. It could be that the project is running out of steam. This stuff tends to depend on a single person driving the project. If that person has to move on for some reason, the project fizzles.
