Aron Xu recommended to drop -m17n by default, because its input
methods are far inferior to -pinyin. So we ship pinyin by default now.

We have the possibility to install -m17n for some other languages
through the language selector, if necessary. Should we do that for
some non-Chinese languages?

Perhaps the two of you can discuss the best selection here?

Thanks!

Martin
