So I do not fully understand this change. Is it actually breaking something or not? If so, I am surprised it happens when bumping micro version (.23). If not, does it have to be System-Wide change? > == Benefit to Fedora == > The users don't have to request the desired XKB layouts and variants > in IBus upstream and most XKB keymaps will be shown in ibus-setup. > > == Scope == > * Proposal owners: > * Other developers: N/A > * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/9563 #9563] > * Policies and guidelines: N/A > * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) > > == Upgrade/compatibility impact == > If a keymap is shown in ibus-setup in the previous version, it will > be > shown in the new one. > > == How To Test == > # Log into XFCE desktop > # Run ibus-setup > > It will show 'English (UK)' keymap by default. > > == User Experience == > If a user customize `/usr/share/ibus/component/simple.xml` in the > previous version, the file will be replaced with new one. I think it is pretty much expected that if you modify something in /usr, it will be overriden by an update, no? > == Dependencies == > The change effects XKB engines only but does not input method engines > (E.g. libpinyin, hangul, and so on.) > > == Contingency Plan == > * Contingency mechanism: Drop the feature in Fedora 33 and postpone > it > to Fedora 34 > * Contingency deadline: Beta freeze > * Blocks release?
