So is your argument that because there is inertia, trying something new
won't work, because inertia will necessarily win?

Or is your argument that takeup will be difficult in the US?

I hope you realise that Fedora is an international project, and that to
overcome inertia, you need by definition to start something new in the
first place.

Even MS has magic symbols on something similar to xkb's 3rd and 4th
levels, and I've not seen it hurting either windows or US people in the
USA.

People will be educated the way they are educated computer-side. Someone
will RTFM or discover accidently the features, other people will notice
he manages to input pretty stuff, and the tricks will spread.

So get some perspective. People manage this kind of computer novelty all
the time. The markup Richard is so enamoured of is just as hard to
educate about.
