before I begin, I've CC'd this message to deaddog, since I don't know if he's on the Cooker ML. I apologize if you are and for this action to the list. I'm bringing this conversation to the main mailing list to better get the opinion of the Mandrake people and the community at large. This "bug" is about the removal of a (albet not recognized officiailly) democratic nation's flag from the distribution. While this is an issue to the communist Chinese government, I loath the idea of not supporting a nation's people that have chosen free choice over another form of government. What is the position of the MDK employeees on this one? Will it be left in, or shall it be removed, as RH did a several months previously, which got them blasted for it by a section of the free software community? I will not continue this conversation any further, if it's wished. However, I want the input of the cooker community about this. - -- Gary L.
