Hi,
We have xkb layouts and m17n input methods to type Indian languages and both gets installed on GNOME by default. So it always creates confusion for uses that which are input methods and xkb layouts. However with xkb layouts one can't write conjuncts or complex characters. So it would be nice to have include m17n based input methods only, we discussed it over IRC and its log can be found on https://fedorahosted.org/i18n/ticket/36
Please let us know if anyone has better thoughts.
Thanks, Anish P.

I'd just like to mention that Anaconda doesn't use input methods so far so we would need to keep the xkb layouts available and installed to the installation images.

If the Indian layouts are moved from
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/{evdev,base}.xml
to
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/{evdev,base}.extras.xml
they are still available for Anaconda, only the “gnome-control-center region” does not show them anymore by default, right?
