I'm sure we are many more: there are also people from french spoken
countries in this list using linux and they won't feel very happy when they
upgrade their vm's and see that à or î can not be typed anymore. And if you
think of some of the countries where OLPC is been used as Brazil... how many
users will get annoyed?

right, but who does it?

Andreas Raab did already it for the windows vm and the world is still going
round...
