After waste sometime on understand what happened to Finnish keyboards layout, I don't think you can blame Fedora project, looking at upstream sources and releases [1] from xkeyboard-config-2.18 to xkeyboard-config-2.19, we got one commit with "rules: Move Finnish DAS layout to extras", I understand you are angry (you lose keyboard layout) but also saw that layout just was added in 2015-09-29 [3] ( xkeyboard-config-2.16 ) You have some options , it might be interesting have extras layouts in Fedora , but I thin you should comment on upstream bugzilla with autor of the commits , the autor first add layout to xkeyboard-config and one year later move it to extras maybe he knows set keyboard with DAS layout in other way, for example also Indian layout has moved to extras [4] says "For Indian languages, the input methods supplied by ibus- m17n appear to be more useful" have you tried dnf install ibus-m17n ? and run ibus-setup ?
