The idea is to protect the user from using characters that can't be passed via plymouth to cryptsetup during startup. Known problem, I've only cited it a couple times in this thread. >The user can change their keyboard layout. That's fine. It wouldn't > cause data loss. The user experience is identical to data loss.

So it's a stupid or weird game and I refuse to participate. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
