I think that has nothing to do with poor responsiveness or rudeness. The 
order of the entries in the gb symbols file isn't what's controlling the 
order in which the entries appear in the installer or in Text Entry. 
(And even if it did, changing the gb file to fit Scottish Gaelic users 
at the expense of English speaking users wouldn't make sense.)

Creating a variant with "Scottish Gaelic" in the name, and which loads 
the most suitable variant for Scottish Gaelic users, might be a step in 
the right direction.

OTOH, that might lead to a similar reaction as I got when adding a 
layout for a minority language in Sweden, i.e. put away to "extras".

And if so, the additional variant wouldn't make things easier...
