I agree. But this wasn't the question I was writing about.

If you try to say: give users different options to set up their
keyboards: Actually I tried to suggest exactly this approach. Just a
few lines later after the part you were quoting. Here's again the
whole section:
-----------------------------------------------
With logics like this I could say: This is Linux. Go get OSX if you
want an Apple keyboard.
So I'd suggest we try to work it out. Instead of leaving people with
no other choices than either eating what they don't like, or going away
and buy another computer/using another OS.
