Thank you for investigating.

I suppose keyboard input method (IME) support is a reason why someone
might wish to use an Xorg-based installer.  Are there other reasons?
What are the reasons for a real desktop environment; is the goal to
offer a live image?  Previously I would have thought a virtual console
is more likely to work everywhere, but kmscon has the same
requirements as Xorg and without kmscon we’d lose i18n.

Regards,
Florian
