Aron, threatening to 'revert any commit' in modules that you don't
maintain is not a great way to reach agreement.

I can't give you the 'official' decision that you want, but I am still
very much planning to go ahead with the IBus integration for 3.6. The
work is being done carefully. Rui has accumulated quite a few patches,
and we are waiting for some fixes on the IBus side before landing
them.

As for complaints, I expect that we will get some feedback when the
integration has actually landed...when people have a chance to try it
out. I hope you will, too. When you do, keep in mind that this work is
still very new and may need a while to mature and reach its full
potential.
