I am subscribed, as you may see:)

I would say we are VERY interested in getting into 7.0 release. Our
release 0.5 is the best we could do so far - without real massive
testing which we can only get if xkeyboard-config is included into
xorg (or excluded explicitly - so people would have to download our
module separately). We have a LOT of keyboard-related bugs fixed (bugs
reported against monolythic xorg tree) - so let's finally present
these fixes to users.

Cheers,

Sergey
