Good point here -- I see that there are already a number of wiki pages
also that are Brazilian Portuguese and use pt_BR in their title.  We
do want consistency.

That's where you're wrong Nelson -- it's in all of our hands.  If we
can have constructive discussions that refrain from casting aspersions
at others, we can easily arrive at a solution that works for everyone.

If our current website uses a pt/pt_BR approach, we can easily
standardize on that.  The right way to approach that standardization
is simple.  We can point to the website as an established standard,
and I think everyone can agree we don't want to confuse people between
one fedoraproject.org site and another.

If the approach is to quote lots of independent studies and government
organizations, resulting in email that's far longer than it needs to
be, it's more likely to fail.
