No, because it's an open project and an international one. When people try 
Linux for the first time, it's very likely that they'll use Mandrake or 
Fedora. So keeping errors in it is out of the question. Such errors will 
spread and then it'll be hard to correct them (think about the children that 
use the distro).

Hehehe :-) It's like saying if you see a bug in a program then write a new one 
;) As you know, making a successful and easy-to-use new distro is difficult, 
because: 1/you don't have the means to do it and 2/ you will certainly do 
some errors too...

I actually don't care if Yiddish is under 'America' and Arabic is not (well, 
Pablo's arguments sound good to me). But obviously not for the same reason 
like you Arafat.
