One of the developers just responded on the github issue referecing this thread. (Also reopened the issue and removed wontfix)

"After a bit of discussion on HackerNews, I got a bit better understanding of the actual problem. People don't want to just configure the keys according to a particular layout - the actual 'issue' here is that they expect the key binding changes together with the layout. Unfortunately, the 0.8.0 changes didn't make this possible to implement as a plugin.

I would reconsider adding this as an option if there are enough interested people. React with a thumbs up to this comment if you are interested in having this option (though the defaults will certainly remain as they are now). Please, react only if you actually use Wayfire or would use it if it had this feature :)"

The issue is that people expect "KEY_Q" to refer to the key that inputs a "q", no? Classic desktop-Linux-level user friendliness.
