The US-Intl is so weird “you canʼt just leave it on all the time” as reported in:

http://www.unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/Archives-Old/UML017/0558.html

Now that CLDR is sorting out how to improve keyboard layouts, hopefully
something falls off to replace the *legacy* US-Intl.
As of how common the new one will become, I guess it depends on whether
it gets less weird than the old one, and to what extent.
