It solve it for all affected machines and not only for one particular brand of 
laptop. You can't ever solve it for 'any other input ever'. Especially not

It's a question of performance (and I remember that there were many ppl which 
made huge efforts to speed up HAL some milliseconds) and reliable

Btw. it's not that we have hundreds of reports every week or month about new 
keymaps for these vendors.
