Since it is not official there will be reactions.

This is a political statement. It seems a little bit offtopic. > Agreement with Greece is > internal mater, and I don't see how it can influence on this topic. Greeks and Macedonian(Slav) are members of the Debian Community. > Do I have to mention that we gave to the world Cyrilc Alphabet? This is a political statement. It seems a little bit offtopic. Debian users are not the appropriate to solve the problem of naming a country. We use the official name and we don't mess up with politics.. Why do you suggest using a name that is not accepted by all Debian users (I don't mean 1 or 2 of course but hundrends) since it is not official? It is reasonable that it will cause reactions.. Do you want to cause reactions? I do not..
