Right - but collecting reports from users where the keyboard is detected
as ANSI but the key swap is required nonetheless would hopefully allow us
to improve the kernel keyboard detection code.

I know I'm overy optimistic WRT user feedback here. I'm not dead serious,
even. Just suggesting a couple of data points to ask for if the next user
complains.
