Subject: Re:  Tibet as country name

Kstars is not a vehicle for political expression, it is an astronomy 
program.  Currently, there is no country called Tibet.  Tibet is a 
province of China, so calling Lhasa's country "Tibet" was indeed a 
factual error; i.e., a bug.  The day Tibet wins independence from 
China, we will change our geographic database to reflect the new 
reality.  

Anyway, this is not a KStars-specific issue; check the list of countries 
available in the "Country/Region & Language" KControl module.  China is 
listed.  Taiwan is listed.  Tibet is not.  As a KDE app, it is only 
right that we remain consistent with other core KDE apps.

> Sorry, couldn't resist.
I rather doubt it.
