Realistically, why Latin? I studied it for a couple of years, and still think it's rather pretentious. because it's the most international/neutral (many text examples in help are latin)

The Romans ruled a large part of the existng world, and the Katholic Church: Rome ruled even longer... I think that all the crimes they commited during all those centuries of reign, are not to be rewarded by openSUSE, Don't worry, the BBC and the worlds monarchies have been "rewarding" the Romans for centuries. (they all been using roman numerals for the longest time). Regardless, if the use of a certain kind of numerals is or could be seen as a reward or recognition, we'll probably want to avoid the arabic numerals too - their users include all kind of criminals throughout history.
lol....
I thought there had to be made a decision for openSUSE's choice now... I did not think what others did or do would matter here.. But on the other hand my dreads of the Roman church and their 'holy inquisition' may blur my vision a bit.. Practical, i think they are not very useful either... It is not the use only, it is the prominent place these numerals take inside: openSUSE MMXI.II Well, in any case, i would less like it.. -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)
