It's a big change but if it is affordable for everyone, I am basically
in favor of this proposal, at least in mid term if it is too radical
for short term.

I guess in this case it would be iiimd, as iiimd is the
one it is kicked from it.(A miner thing)

Only one big concern of me is the M$ term "IME" which stands for Input
Method Editor at M$ realm(actually this is also miner, conpared to the
problem I mention later in this mail)

While the "LE" is the purely UNIX term, "Language Engine", and I have
also been adovocating the overriding acronym "Input Method Engine" for
IME intentionally for over 10+ years, but I am still not sure it was
successful. For some(most of?) people, I guess the got-feeling from IME
is M$ acronym which is different from what LE means.

The BIGGEST concern, which is even worse, is that huge number of
people use nowadays IME as an alias for MSIME. This is catastrophic.

Despite my long years of efforts to override the M$ acronym on IME, I
guess I have to admit that I failed on it and I now feel it is rather
appropriate to change the gear toward killing the M$ acronym "IME" which
misrepresent what it actually is even for M$.
