This is exactly what we are doing now. We changed the name on 
Waldo's proposal and with Arash's consent to "Farsi (Persian)" 
not only on i18n.kde.org but also in kdecore despite the hard 
message freeze.

I'd suggest you read whole discussions (and try to understand 
what their participants are after) before contributing to them. 
I'd also suggest you keep your contributions factual. 
Insinuations, personal disparagement, and flaming without any 
good reason will only tempt people to brush you off (no matter 
what yourself are after).
