I think it's mildly hypocritical of anyone to demand that we restore

want an easy life.
I use the educational suite GCompris with my 2-year old daughter, which I
really enjoy doing. The configuration menu uses flag countries to let you
select the language of the various games. A French flag for French, a
Portugal flag for portuguese, even a Catalan flag for people from Barcelona.
Now the burden is on the packager to figure out how to patch the application
to work without the images (tough sell to get upstream help on this).
If you agree to the absurdity of the broad effects caused by the policy you
voted for, you need to resign from FeSCo immediately.
I don't think that particular leap is logical.
What do the flags specify for a country like the US? Or China? or
Switzerland?
If a program means to say "choose your language" then they should say
"choose your language". Not "choose a flag from a linguistically
homogenous country".
