> Gentlemen, I am really stuck at that point.

Allow me to sum it up.

 - Nicolas is the sole advocate of having Control_R mapped to Level5.
 - The rest of us want to go back to having both left and right Control 
behaving the same way.

I'm not quite sure how you want us to organize a vote or poll. French
Linux users (just like non-French ones) use a variety of distributions
(which, BTW, may not ship the changed version of xkeyboard-config), and
may not even all use a French keyboard (I'd say roughly half of my
Linux-using friends and coworkers are using US qwerty layouts or mac
layouts).

Since apparently no hardware maker is following ISO standards, may I
suggest creating new layouts such as "oss-iso" with Nicolas' changes?

As one of Gentoo's X11 maintainers, I am really tempted to just revert
that change downstream. The few French users I have talked to were just
as surprised as I was to lose their Control_R key for no apparent
reason.

I could organize a poll on my blog but being aggregated only on Planet
Gentoo, I wouldn't give much credit to any numbers I could find.
