Comment 19 for bug 1430893

@Nobuto: The fact that there is a Japanese remix with fcitx as default means that some Japanese users will be affected by the proposed 15.04 changes whether we like it or not.

Up to now, you have been able to decide the default IM framework per distro by having fcitx installed by default or not. fcitx has been installed by default in Ubuntu Kylin, and hence fcitx has automatically been the default IM framework. According to Ikuya the same is true for a Japanese remix.

As from 15.04 fcitx will be installed by default for all users, and thus it will no longer be possible to determine the default IM framework per distro in the same way.

I have no idea how many Japanese users install the Japanese remix and how many install standard Ubuntu, though.
