And my understanding is that there _is_ a valid legal reason for it.
Distributing Fedora in some countries is _illegal_ if it contains
certain flags, and can lead to extremely uncomfortable repercussions.
Shipping Fedora is always at risk to contain componets which may be considered illegal somewhere due to the nature of "nationalism", "cultural backgrounds", "national laws" and the dynamic nature of such kind of problems.

This problem isn't restricted to national symbols (such as flags) but is subject to many topics (E.g. "uncertified games" in Europe, mp3 in the US).

And since I was asked for my opinion, I think David stated it pretty
clearly.  But frankly I don't think my opinion is needed or, indeed,
that relevant.
Didn't you state to be intending to "lead by example"?

If so, you're probably better of to have an opinion.

 I do feel strongly that FESCo, as a community elected
body,
1/2 community elected.
