- drop scim/ibus from DVD/CD. (they're really old and react slow to bugs and have famous bugs)

so guys what do you think?
I've absolutely no opinion on this, but I find it surprising that you're suggesting to drop ibus from dvd/cd while upstream GNOME is working on deeper ibus integration for the next version: https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/IBus
Do you have any information on this?
Hi, Vincent,
in my survey there're user choices to "just let scim retire"...so the final proposal relies on users' choice, this is just my temporary proposal to act as a starting point.
and my reason is:
does western locale needs ibus?
situation in C(stands for China), zh_CN people replace it with fcitx, zh_TW people replace it with gcin. so no one will use it(from current vote results, no Japanese vote now). it still has some users only because it's shipped by default.
so if no one will use it if he has choices, then why let it be there holding position in DVD and installed by default? why not install the ones users really need?
and about the GNOME thing, I have to say, no offense, they are outdated. when there're no alternatives in the old days, they do not make it better; now we have choices, they're making it. it's better say this is the previous slow reaction postponed to now, not the plan for "deeper integration". just a coincidence. it's time to free their hands and let them concentrate on something more important...of course we have to wait enough long to see it happen.
PS: btw I think we both know we are talking about do not ship them by default in DVD/CD, not to kick them off entirely from openSUSE. users like them still can install from M17N and OSS repositories. if GNOME is making it better, still good.
My point is that if GNOME relies on ibus in GNOME 3.6, then openSUSE 12.3 will have ibus on the DVD again because of GNOME. Just something to keep in mind. And if we're unhappy about GNOME going this way -- which is fine -- then now is the best time to raise objections upstream. But I can't do that since I don't enough about input methods.
