I am a francophone Québécois too. I found the initial messages here a
bit hilarious. To give a little bit of perspective, I am a Dvorak
typist, so I use the Canadian French Dvorak keyboard layout (which is
available in GNOME, but not in server versions, as far as I know). You
don't see me shouting from the rooftops.
It's not as easy as it seems. Don't think there are only two keyboard
layouts out there. Besides, what about the vast amount of foreign-born
Canadians? A canadian using a russian keyboard layout is not
impossible, for example. The only way to not displease and not get into
politics is to offer the choice.
Just add the damn option to set the keyboard layout and be done with it :)
