I talked to the people from #xorg-devel on FreeNode today about the status of Ilya's patch
<daniels> i'm inclined to not apply it, as it directly contradicts the xkb spec, and is also apparently buggy (see the upstream bug report with some people complaining that it breaks occasionally) <saaska> and who makes the xkb spec? <daniels> well, us. we could change it, but there's not much point in a spec which changes ... <saaska> mm and what would cause you to look further into this? <daniels> well, we could write the spec better for xkb2 ;) <daniels> yeah, i'm not personally affected by it as i only use US layout <daniels> i can see that it sucks, but otoh i don't like contradicting the spec for no good reason <saaska> you don't notice it if you don't switch languages <daniels> well, i notice all the affected users in my inbox :P <saaska> i'd even go as far as to say it's a major annoyance with layout-switching people <daniels> understandable To me this looks like it's not gonna be fixed any time soon. I hope xkb2 spec is somewhere around the corner.
