Good God this is all non-sensical. Peter, there is absolutely nothing
to give the impression that questions is meant to be entirely,
exclusively, or even primarily English-language list. Consider the
following:
1) FreeBSD is a US project, and the US has no official
language, so there is no implied language for the project. In
addition, many people in the US speak languages (natively) other than
English. I should know. I'm from Northern Michigan and if you want to
try explaining to a big burly fur-trader descendant named Reuben who
lives on Bois Blanc island that he is not supposed to speak French,
you're likely to get the crap beaten out of you. In short, even if you
look at freebsd.org as being country-specific (I disagree with this in
the first place, but anyway) that still doesn't mean English should
necessarily dominate on its lists.
2) There are NO official french-language lists. There is a
French-language list, but it is not official. I am subscribed to it,
and as such I can assure you that, per day, more francophones read the
official list than they do the unofficial french-language list. This
makes it quite unreasonable to expect francophones to use the
unofficial list, knowing they won't receive support.
If you would like to continue with this connerie, you may do so; but
if you do, don't expect thereafter that your messages will continue to
show up in my inbox. By the way, I assume you are indeed a native
anglophone, so even according to the guidelines there is no excuse for
your spelling of xenophobic with a z.
