Hmm ... sounds to me like RedHat is just trying to minimize support
requests from people who happen to install an application that requires
one or the other. I haven't used RedHat lately, but when I did (up to 2
years ago), I was always able to get Japanese input running with just
Canna. If something in their infrastructure is genuinely dependent on
having both, that would be perverse.
