So would xorg.conf configuration, because neither of those actually use the xml files. But it looks like there's a bug in GNOME somewhere even when the layout is preconfigured in gsettings it doesn't get applied anymore once moved to extras. I haven't had time to trace that down, meanwhile that commit has been reverted in F25. fwiw, the indian language is a different issue, because those layouts are apparently useless without ibus. the finnish one one (afaict) doesn't need ibus to work so moving it to extras was done for different reasons.
