I'm wondering if these patches address any of these Bugs

 13539 - XKB map setting is bonged
 16105 - initial group width n >= 2 results in broken map
 16145 - Simulated Caps lock key press via XTestFakeKeyEvent does not toggle the LED indicator
 16364 - Behavior of xmodmap differs when invoked before any key has been pressed

or asked differently: Is there some background to these changes,
e.g. bugreports. Which ones?

Best regards,
Stefan
