Y'know, every time there's a Linux upgrade, I find myself remembering the
Cory Doctorow comment about iTunes.



"No one woke up this morning and thought, "gee, I wish there was a way I
could do less with my music, maybe someone's offering that product today."

In this case, the ibus developers do seem to want to work with people with
problems, but with every Linux iteration, seems there's a decision made for
us....

Though to be fair, it's also nice to have most hardware just work and not
have to worry about properly constructing an xorg.conf.
