Re: [xkb] Re: new layout

Would you like to start checking the changes into the Xorg monolothic
tree yourself then?   If you're willing to do the work of sync'ing it
up with your xkeyboard-config tree, I'm sure we could work that out
without much trouble.

As far as I know the only reason no one is updating the Xorg xkb data
files is because no one has volunteered to take that on.
