We could remove those flags alltogether.
Microsoft once had a similar problem with the time zone selection
dialog. It showed the borders of time zones, which some times matched
borders of countries. Fierce discussions resulted because some of
those borders were disputed. As a result, Microsoft changed the
dialogue not to indicate the borders.
As far as I know, Microsoft products do not display any flags (maybe
some flags are shipped as clip-art, though). Perhaps this is a wise
decision.
