You've converted a non-issue (a translation) into a political statement (Taiwan independent?) into a bigger problem for Debian (kernel maintenance). You're not the only one to blame here (other translators at debian-boot are to blame for this issue) but you've allowed things to get out of hand. So, please, Christian, explain this: > Because, imho, this is a case where we plan to deviate from a > standard.

[http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/05/msg00290.html] What _technical_ advantage to our users does this deviation from the standard introduce? I just don't see it. Feel free to ask for a change in the standard, if needed be, not in the name of the Debian project (unless you are empowered somehow to do so). Last time I looked, Debian did not had any political bias. And now it shows up, hurting our ability to do technical work. Nice job. Javier
