But that's the point! The name is objectionable from a technical perspective: it's unnecessarily long and bulky. We are not writing "Germany (Federal Republic of)", so why write "Taiwan (Province of China)"? Just because some piece of paper says it? > Now if debian decides to make a political statement and call taiwan > taiwan I am kinda for it, but let's not pretend that it's not a > political statement, that it's neutral. The ISO standard is the thing that's being a political statement, not the other way round. Technically, we should just call Taiwan "Taiwan". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
