Btw, what's the input method you are using in ibus right now? Don't
really think ibus provides more options than fcitx on it right now.

And I think it is already clear we shouldn't drop any of the IMFs we
currently have in the official repo (fcitx/ibus/scim... whatever) the
real problem is who will become the new TU to maintain ibus packages
and also about Felix' tu application (this one may need a new thread).
So plz don't worry.
