I'd rather prefer to have input methods bundled with Emacs, not on ELPA. Two reasons: . input methods are basic keyboard input, users should have them OOTB . adding an input method currently requires adding it to leim-list.el and re-dumping Emacs, so AFAIU at least some infrastructure is currently missing for installing input methods outside of the build (Of course, if we are unfortunate enough to bump into legal matters which cannot be resolved, then this is a moot point.)
