I was wondering why the setting of boolean values needed a policy. :-) In fact, I've got two problems with this title: 1. The word "flags" has a well-established use in the software world; and 2. The "in Fedora" part is redundant since the policy document is hosted on a Fedora-specific wiki. Might I suggest changing the title to "Policy for Handling Geopolitical Flags"? Even that is a bit wordy. How about "Geopolitical Flag Policy"? I think you need "Geopolitical" in there somewhere to avoid confusing software geeks like me. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
