Hi everyone,
I have created a merge request to remove the Caps Lock -> Backspace mod in XKB implementations of Colemak (all variants, including Rulemak), leaving Caps Lock as-is by default. This is primarily to make Colemak more approachable and useful for beginners.
It can still obviously be re-enabled as an XKB option for those who want to use it.

Also note that some language-specific variants did not have the Caps -> Backspace mod before.

This post is to see what everyone thinks and to notify those who use the Caps Lock -> Backspace remap in XKB of potential future surprises!
Keeping comments here to keep the XKB thread clean would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
