I am sure that Fedora users on this list would be glad to help with testing
once you have BRLTTY integrated into the installation process.

I'm not a Fedora user myself, however.

If Fedora now supports a full, live upgrade without having to reboot and run
an installer, this should also be helpful to BRLTTY users, as then they need
only use the installer once. Of course, the installer should work with BRLTTY,
but at least subsequent upgrades would be easier if they could be carried out
from the shell without a reboot/re-install.
