If we have such a tool, can we make the whole area of keymap

Well, we still will allow configuration of per-boot, per-system and
per-user keymaps, but at least only one for each (i.e. only X11), not
two (i.e. X11+console).
systemd tries to keep /etc/vconsole.conf and the X config in line,
but
there's lots of room for things to go wonky there. And I don't think
that GNOME's config tool, at least, has any mechanism to propagate its
configuration 'down the stack' like it does for other settings.
We'd drop the console keymap specific bits in /etc/vconsole.conf. It
would stick around only for the font setting after that.
It seems like ideally we should just have two configurations:
* system-wide default keymap
* user-specific current keymap
Well, certainly, but I think ther is benefit in allowing this to be
overriden at boot on the kernel command line.
