--- Comment #4 from Martin Pitt <martin.pitt at ubuntu.com> ---
FTR: The "F20" assignment for "mic mute" was done in X.org in
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54171 . Apparently at a time when
KEY_MICMUTE either did not yet exist in the kernel's input.h or it had a key
code > 255 so that X.org couldn't handle it.

So we first need to adjust xkeyboard-config to also recognize KEY_MICMUTE as
XF86AudioMicMute, and after that has been out in the wild for some time, switch
the keymaps away from F20. But that would mean a regression for people who
still have an older xkeyboard-config, so I propose we keep F20 for at least a
year or so.

I also left a comment in bug 54171 about that.
