[Bug 1439006] Re: Install Fcitx for Japanese users

[Nobuto Murata]

@Aron,

I'm not sure about the future including Desktop Next or convergence,
however I believe it's still worthy to have Mozc as default for the time
being. The engine itself is well maintained by Google team as
Mozc/Google Japanese Input(It's like a Chromium/Chrome relation) in
upstream, and popular on Windows, Linux and Android with no doubt.

Up until now, we didn't bring Mozc to MIR because it has a wide
dependencies. Now that fcitx is in main, a big remaining depedency is
"gyp". It would be great if Desktop team is positive to maintain it.

@Ikuya, your input is more than welcome.
