Then say so there, not here.

What you don't provide a proof for is that this change doesn't break
other combinations.  It's not easy to prove that though.  That's why
many Indic issues are stalled in bugzilla right now, until we find a way
to go forward.  Two ways to go forward is:

  * Find an Indic expert that we can trust and that has time to maintain
the Indic module.  I don't think this will happen.

  * Produce an extensive Indic test suite and go ahead with any proposed
change that passes the test suite.  This is the approach I'm trying to
take, but have not had a lot of time working on it.

I don't think there's much you can do about it right now.
