| In what cases does it do this? My reading of the fonts groups were

| new defaults. (Especially since most any desktop user who installed a
| langsupport group had @fonts installed anyway.)

On some Indic languages say. for example, we have lohit-marathi-fonts, lohit-nepali-fonts and so on though, we don't install it by default because Marathi and Nepali uses the Devanagari-based script and basic functionality can be provided by lohit-devanagari-fonts IIRC.

That looks like Chinese vs Japanese to me - IMHO we should install it by default as we do it for Chinese and Japanese, but anyway.

Great. Thanks!

| iok is required by ibus-m17n; is that expected to change?

Well, the point is that it breaks one-default-application policy. both iok and eekboard is a virtual keyboard application though, we already have one on GNOME say. unfortunately it doesn't support i18n well. so we still need iok and/or eekboard.
We should get involved to improve i18n support but it's another story for long term because the upstream seems getting stuck on development so far.
