Comment 36 for bug 108057

Mișu, we all agree the xkeyboard-config files have all the ro layouts there and setxkbmap can be used to choose any of them. (they may not have all the diacritics for minorities as required by the law, I am not sure)

We need those exposed in the GUI as well so anyone can choose them, that's why it has been reassigned to the appropriate package, I think there's no disagreement there either.

The names are only descriptive for those who know what comma and academic stand for in this context. The ones mentioned by Cristi
being used by Vista sound semore nsible to me. So we could have Romanian (now academic) and Romanian Programmers (comma) and the same ones with cedilla added to the name as well as keeping winkeys (instead of Legacy).

Does the name imply which is the default? If _now_ we changed these names which make sense in the long term, can we still make the cedilla version the default?

As for changes being prepared in advance that's not necessary at all, we can easily add a patch to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu anytime, as long as there is consensus about what needs changing. So the obstacle is only deciding whether a change is needed and if it is needed now
no requirement to wait for upstream release if we think something should be done now. We should be as close to upstream of course, but not block on it.
