A list of current countries doesn't solve the problem. Let's take for example Freeciv, which was cited earlier as having flags as a core part of the experience (I'd disagree, but anyways). Do we allow historical flags or not? I can think of more than one past historical leader and flag that are likely to be controversial, and definitely one which is banned in a perfectly democractic country (this is what Seth was hinting at earlier). > By abandoning flags alltogether, we actually make a decision: we > choose to side with those who don't agree with the UN. Every decision has tradeoffs and ramifications. The point is, are flags/symbols a core part of the value Fedora is delivering in most of these cases? No. Note that we aren't taking away anyone's freedom here - anyone is free to create a localized spin which includes some flags or other changes as they desire. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
