=== qoute from above
  So before you think about writing an angry comment that
  we've broken your configuration: stop using input and
  output hotplugging, stop using suspend/resume, stop using
  a desktop environment that manages your keyboard configuration.
  Then you'll notice everything still works as before and you
  can xmodmap away.

So if I'm using plain old X11 I'll be fine --- good to know.
And whoever want to use kde/gnome, should use xkbd.
