I don't know if anyone's still following this PR, but I'd like to add something. As remko@ mentioned earlier: > We try to make the world as best as possible for everyone > unfortunatly this is not possible in this case; there will > always be people sad because of the current line, no matter > whether we will change this. I believe that reverting back to "Taiwan" would probably end this dispute, since it is a better option in my opinion. As far as I know, many users of FreeBSD in Taiwan have been pissed of by the use of "Taiwan, Province of China." However, no one has complained about the name "Taiwan" yet. The people who have submitted followups either have 1) a neutral status or 2) would like to see "Province of China" removed. Therefore, changing the name back to "Taiwan" would probably keep everyone happy. If there are any users who support the addition of "Province of China," I urge them so speak up. If no one does, then there isn't a justified reason to keep "Province of China" attached. --=20 Denny Lin --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.13 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkrm9tAACgkQtYH0ykp1KDzD0wCfVncsgDSq2QURK7Dc/9vB1L/2 o5oAoNpiKg0qwFZiD8ivSmzjS/ynRyEn =U8mI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb--
