It turns out that systemd-vconsole-setup already does this, and in fact has been doing that since the beginning… Initially we forgot to check the exit code from loadkeys, but since [1] we do it consciously, i.e. warn and continue on an error. [1] https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/8931278c8a So I think this issue can considered resolved. A manual action is required on affected installation of F34 as described in the common bugs page.
