Denis, do you know about how many layout changes there are? If there's not
too many we could list them in the NEWS file. If there are a lot, we could
document them and have the NEWS file let people know where to look for
their changes. I'm committing a brief note now about switching from the
xfree86 rules to xorg, but if this hits a lot more than de_CH then we need
to figure out a good migration path.
