I'm not sure adding support for subdivisions would satisfy Debian users in some of these situations but it could be one part of the solution. According to wikipedia, ISO3166 comes from a group of 10 representatives[2] from mostly rich countries.Most of them from countries actually reognizing Kosovo as independent, so what? While it is good that we use material from official sources, Debian is independent of any state and may not need to feel constrained by such lists/standards in the same way that a commercial software vendor might be. It may be interesting to support micronations like the Principality of Hutt River[5] too.This one is not recognized by anyone. Please let the peolpe of Kosovo speak for themselves. Well, when somebody in Kosovo set up a new mirror, they listed[1] it under AL (Albania) rather than RS (Serbia). Regards, Daniel 1. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=867255 |
