Dear Mișu, we were only talking about changing the default layout.
In practice, some users will never be able to read the comma characters 
(Windows < XP).
In practice, some users will always need to write using the cedilla characters 
for reasons of compatibility with legacy software. That is the only reasons why 
those layouts exist.
Cristian Secară explains this very well on his site and gives a warning to 
those who want to install the cedilla layouts on Windows Vista
"Atenţie ! Nerecomandat ! Instalaţi doar dacă ştiţi că vă este absolut necesar 
!"
that means
"Attention ! Not recommended ! Install only if you know it is absolutely 
necessary !"
I'm not saying you should remove the cedilla layouts from xkeyboard-config like 
Vista did.
All I'm saying is that you can't have such a layout as default. You can't have 
people unknowingly write texts using non-existing characters. How are people 
supposed to know that using the default Romanian layout produces incorrect 
characters? setxkbmap doesn't even print a warning message.
You say that people "cannot tell the difference and do not give a damn". Well, 
we know the difference and give a damn.
