The Red-Hat tool uses its own coding database which consolidates kbd, XFree86 and other language options. Of course it was only current when initially released. It does not follow upstream changes well (for example fr-latin0 was replaced by fr-latin9 in kbd and added to X keyboard layouts, but the RH tool will still show only fr-latin0 months after). For any serious i18n the RH tools are useless. They only track en_US and I suppose the asian languages people are paid at RH to support. All the rest is in the gray mostly working area.
