* From: Nik Clayton <nclayton@lehman.com> * Chinese (EUC) zh_CN.EUC zh I believe the correct form of this is zh_CN.eucCN, but you should ask Mandarin experts to be sure. * Note, however, that the installation directory semantics for the Japanese * documentation will then be subtly different from the semantics for every * other language variant that can be installed. I think this is a bad thing, * and that it should be phased out over time (say, over the course of the * transition from one major release of FreeBSD to the next -- so that * v4.0 would ship with the switched order, as Satoshi is saying, and that * v5.0 would ship with it back so that it is the same as for every other * language). And we have explained over and over why it makes little sense for Japanese admins to do it that way. It is not the "switched" order -- it's the "natural" order for Japanese systems. It's not the matter of whether we have time between the switch over or not. It does not make sense for us to switch. I don't think we are going to reach an agreement on this. The whole discussion is getting pointless. Can we just agree to disagree? All we want is a little autonomy to select our own defaults. As long as proper symlinks are established to maintain semantic consistency, I don't see why it is a "bad thing" to be different from others.
