Hi,

I think fcitx may have been a funny name for upstream when project
started.  But now it is very large project with many imput method
support.  Calling this as "Toy" and making this Chinese specific may not
be desired.

It may be good idea for upstream to reconsider paraphrased version of
fcitx.

 * Now: Free Chinese Input Toy of X
 * My suggestion: Free Character Input Tool for X

Then no one is surprised.  If someone addKorean support, the mana is
stil valid and does not cause confusion.

Please forward this message to upstream and discuss (in Chinese if
needed).

Thanks.

Osami
