It's called backwards compatibility. If you use CSA french keyboard   layout *some* of the accented characters have different unicode values   than macroman. Not passing up the MacRoman breaks 2.8 images...

In the Unix VM you can set an environment variable or command line argument to change the encoding of input events. This changes what gets sent to the image.

Perhaps either providing a way to pass down the encoding requirements to the VM or giving an alternate way to launch the VM for older images might be OK.

After all, I suspect that people who are trying to use a new VM with a 2.8 image would probably be somewhat tech savvy.
