But I will try to say it in another way.
Unfortunate peoples that live in countries where a _simple_ flag can
give troubles for whatever cause/reason, can remove them all to be
able to use Fedora. But please, don't cut our freedom just to be more
friendly with authoritarian regimes.
What if a non-authoritarian regime didn't want us to distribute a flag
that was offensive to their democratically-empowered populace? Would that
be okay then?
the whole reason for nuking the set of flags entirely is so we are NOT
choosing sides.
