The following reply was made to PR conf/138672; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Edward Chuang <edwardchuang@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@freebsd.org, linpct@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: conf/138672: ISO 3166 call Taiwan a wrong name, please call Taiwan "Taiwan" as before. Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:53:13 +0800 Folks, Basically, as a Taiwanese, I second that is strongly offensive to people from Taiwan using the term "Taiwan, Province of China". Ironically, Taiwan authority never join the constitute of ISO 3166. I think this political issue will *NOT* be solved in the near future (well, before the shipping date of 8.0-R, even the 10.0-R). The best way to get rid of controversies is use the term "Country / Region" instead of "Country". And calling "Taiwan" as previously used. Thanks and please respect our culture. --Ed
