Maybe Belgian government should remember the old law that said that
children born in Belgium get Belgian nationality automaticly (when got
this changed again?).  Without that law a famous "Belgian" like Django
Reinhardt, who they are very proud of on belgium.be, wouldn't have been
a Belgian...

If a group of people like to do that, I can't stop them.  And if they
are cooperative and work together with ubuntu-be & ubuntu-nl, why would
it be a problem?

> That's a typical Belgian solution... :-(

Only if they do it because two groups of people can't agree with each
other for some stupid reasons they don't understand themselves anymore.

Off-topic, but there are more than 1000 beers made in Belgium, and only
a small number of those are made by Interbrew...
