If I remember well, this change also went into XFree86 just before the
split. The  argument being : there are legitimate uses for Ä, therefore 
'c to Ã does not make sense, especially when you can compose Ã using ,

I'm afraid I didn't pay a lot of attention, on my fr-latin9 french
layout Ã and Ã are obtained without composition whatsoever
