Peter, I believe you had good intentions, but your comment made me (and I am sure Predrag as well), even more miserable. We do not want any iso codes assigned to a part of our country occupied by islamic militants! I thought at least OpenBSD people had some understanding of how world politics work. The same people who decide whether you may or may not exercise your freedom of speach, can also decide whether some group are terrorists or freedom fighters, depending on part of the world in which that group operate.

Needless to say, these are exactly the remarks I wanted to avoid. It's a list of codes; I am not making any comments whatsoever about the actual events in Yugoslavia, except the fact there is not an assigned code for Kosovo - meaning simply that is why it's not in the diff.

TFYROM is the name, under which, Republic of Macedonia (to give its full name) is, provisionally, referred to within the UN, until said dispute is resolved[0]. Therefore, given that ISO 3166-1 country codes and names are linked to membership within the UN, or other international organisations, the former name should remain... or changed to: MK:MACEDONIA, REPUBLIC OF to find the middle ground.
