Well, now is a bad timing just before 12.3 release.  We shouldn't
change the devel project too much until 12.3 is released and FACTORY
is opened again.

The biggest problems would be the migration and the stability.
When I tested ibus 1.5 shortly ago, both failed too badly.
Upgrading to M17N:Devel from a system running with ibus-1.4.x
(mozc, anthy and m17n) triggered frequent segfaults, even blocked the 
toggle of IM (likely due to key assignment / policy changes) -- in
short, it was just useless on that system.

Maybe we should test the upgrade paths, at least 12.3, before actually
upgrading the stuff in M17N project: install 12.3-beta1 or latest one
on a VM (GNOME, KDE, other DE), upgrade to M17N:Devel, and see whether
any regression happens.


thanks,
