We *have* seen that in the past. Really. The fact that Ubuntu and others
go that way doesn't make it good.

That's a non-argument.  Not only we are talking about few users, but
also those users do know very well that they are using a non-standard
keyboard, and will know they should look for an ergonomic variant
somewhere.  Thus the proposal to add an "ergonomic" choice.

Again, please read my compromise proposal. This is precisely the kind of
thing I'm suggesting: the gtk images, which happens to be what most
CD/DVD images include.
