When you single out the flags to remove, you are in fact siding with the
people that take offense to those flags, eg China.  I certainly don't
want the Fedora project to appear to be taking sides with China in their
Tibet issues.  The only way to be fair, is if we're going to remove one
flag, we remove them all.
