Hello all,

First off, allow me to apologize for this mishap: rest assured it is a
mishap and nothing more than that.

We are developing some software that has a task to bring the naming of
various toponyms back into a certain, agreed format.

This agreed format does in fact take into account the rule of the
majority, so even in that respect the name:sq tag should be default
value for the name tag for environments where the majority speaks the
language.

Be that as it may, since there is a political situation surrounding
the Kosovo territory, the general consensus on "our" side of the
equation is that Kosovo should be left outside of our activities, and
I guess when we do decide that we would want to enact certain changes,
that we will inform you of such intentions, and discuss these at such
time.

I will see if we can revoke the changes made ourselves, if not,
apologies for the damage done and extra work required to sort this
out.

Best regards,
--Dragutin Cvetkovic
