I filed the request for this over 3 years ago[1]. At the time, it did not
go anywhere because ISO 3166 did not have a country code for Kosovo, and
that part of product details deals with ISO codes.
This state hasn't changed, the interim code "XK" that I suggested we use
remains[2].
OK, sounds like "product details" is the wrong tool for this job if it
requires ISO 3166 country codes. Or we should stop requiring them, or
something.
I presume, the request would be to change it to "Kosovo"
This can't be what the request _was_, since picking "Kosovo" is not an
option right now, yes?
I agree that's what the request _should_ be, after we make it possible
to pick it.
I suggest the following:
- After a few years of deliberation, let's land Kosovo with country code
"xk" in product details. It'll just be in there, no one needs to use it if
they don't want to. I am still happy to patch and land that 1-liner patch.
- We can then suggest to the Mozillians in question that they can choose
Kosovo as their country if they so desire, but they are not required to.
This sounds great to me, given the limited information I have here..
By the way, the other country in that bug, South Sudan, also hasn't landed.
It *does* have an ISO country code ("ss") and is recognized by 123 other
countries[4]. Happy to land that too, unless there are remaining blockers
for that to proceed.
This sounds like a good idea too.
