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.
IMO, dropping ibus from DVD is very unlikely option for 12.2 (I guess you meant this? ;) Using other IMs for some locales as the default is of course a different question.
However, I'm a bit worried how tightly GNOME will be bound with ibus. I don't know the detail at all, so I'm writing just from the sensational title line. But I guess no hard-dependency is introduced (hopefully), if it's only about the configuration changes of ibus per gnome-settings-daemon?
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.
If you know any development there, please let us know. At least, it'd be good if anyone can suggest these guys that lots of people are not using ibus but other IMs.
You might want to contact the person who's working on this upstream: Rui Tiago Cação Matos
Looking at https://live.gnome.org/ThreePointFive/Features/IBus I see that we now have some git branches for the work and this commit makes me believe it's going to be an optional build time dependency at least, if not a hard dependency: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?h=wip/input-sources&id=cdffffe6956f7805298e29aa26d53bf917bbc348
To be on the safe side, I think we would enable ibus in our packages so that'd be like a hard dependency...

an optional build time dependency is just okay, we can split another sub-package. but hard cored? they must be insane. I'll ask fcitx developer to evaluate it. and discuss with its developer since I know nothing about coding. and I suggest Mr Takashi send an email too, stands for our distribution. any hard-coded no-used packages would be rude to our end users.
