It seems to me that this is exactly why FreeBSD should stick with whatever ISO says instead of taking an independent position. I personally happen to agree that calling Taiwan a province of China is an exercise in ignoring reality -- but I don't think it's a good idea for us to impose our personal political beliefs on the project. > You wouldn't like the US to be > referred to as "United States, province of Britain.". If that's what ISO decided to call it, then that's what I'd expect a file named "iso3166" to call it. -- Colin Percival Security Officer, FreeBSD | freebsd.org | The power to serve Founder / author, Tarsnap | tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
