I do not find the reasoning of closing of this bug constructive to the
the end user. Were all these points weighted?

o  The use of readable alternative over non-readable 
o  The ability to distinguish characters on some displays / fonts
o  The ability to press keys, which are not necessarily easily located in 
   non-us keyboards (think remote terminal connections etc.)

I fail to understand how in quality wise the decision made would be better than 
the
suggested alternative.
