I'm not familiar with adding event handlers, can you point me at an
example? In general, my concern is that whatever this mechanism is, it
shouldn't have to be poky-tiny aware: meaning it needs to glean the
knowledge that keymaps should not be added from something else. I
suppose this could be some DISTRO_FEATURE, but that is effectively what
I've already done in 5/9 "task-core-boot: Allow DISTRO to disable keymaps".

Right. That and using it in a .conf file results in parsing errors. :-)
