differently.
When you read about the arguments why the Moldovan language was deprecated,
the argument was very much based on what an official Moldovan organisation
did. The people in Transnistria are effectively not part of

This is not a valid argument.. By the way deprecated does not mean invalid.
That IS a valid argument why it is not necessary to rename.
