Hi Sean! Your point is good and I accept it, but I thought it worth to remind yet again that ASF isn't limited by the US and the world is not limited by English language and as the result shouldn't be limited by some people's personal issue - there are specialists around who can help with these.
P.S. Sorry if my response was a bit quite disrespectful, but the intention was to remind that blindly renaming all the things around is not a solution - let's think world wide or at least about compatibility issues which somehow should be handled? And what will be motivation for people to handle them?
