<p>Well, I was surprised to see the version bump for this seemingly trivial change, thus I asked. Is it not possible to conditionally compile in some code based on the XKB version instead? "No it's not" isn't a satisfying explanation.</p>
<p>I'm asking because I see more and more code bases in KDE requiring too-bleeding-edge software (hint: our kdepim stack), with all the consequences this has -- of which you're surely aware of.</p>

<p>Yes I know exactly when it was released. It was released also because *I* requested it.</p></blockquote>
