Comment 36 for bug 1786344

So not only are there daily builds of stable releases, they are taking packages in -proposed into account. I had no idea of either. Thanks for letting me know.

Great, thanks for confirming. (But please note that the released 18.04.3 ISO will not include packages in -proposed.)

Yeah, the existence of the "cn" keyboard layout has been questioned by others too:

Replacing "cn" with "en" makes sense to me.

No, that will probably not happen. Even if there is only one zh_CN input method available in the live session, the "Intelligent Pinyin" method needs to be labeled as that to distinguish it from other methods available in the Ubuntu archive.

But none of these fine-tuning things will be backported to 18.04 anyway. If you want that kind of adjustments be considered for 19.10 or 20.04, please file a new bug report.
