It would be nice if I had a pony too, but it's not going to happen.
Sergey, who you were talking with in that LiveJournal entry, is the
maintainer of the GNOME XKB tools, as well as the upstream maintainer of
the XKB layouts. He and I (in my guise of upstream XKB, and general
input, code maintain
I still have not found a good enough reasoning behind having keyboard
layouts being equal with keyboard groups. Switching over the whole
keyboard configuration when the input langage changes seems to be the
most flexible approach to the situation. Some languages could have only

It's not a matter of laziness or efficiency or whatever. The X core

That's not likely something that we want to divert from upstream for. Is
there really users who want to use over 4 differents layouts for their
keyboard?

Note that this bug has been dismissed by upstream as NOTABUG for several
years, since Gnome 2.6 IIRC. The keyboard layout selector was rewritten
at that point - the old selector supported unlimited number of layouts,
while the new one only supported at most 4 layouts.
