please name these countries

- you refer to the mail archive, ok, Germany was mentioned(*), so 
it is the first one on the list, and what are the others?

if you can't, stop saying "a lot of ..."

(*) without any exact reference, just that some newspaper was 
sued for something which was not even remotely quoted

as Peter said, what "single RPM package with no dependencies, 
that can be easily installed with a one-liner from somewhere 
else" will be the next?

and what about taking it the other way round, is it worth to lose 
encrypted DVD support for all our users which brings us a lot of 
public attention, is this price really worth to keep one single 
country in the set of contributors?

I second that ... but ... who is that?
do we have any structure like Fedora has? - I do not see anything 
on the wiki
