Yes, definitely. This is real geo-political issue with the release
notes. For the same reason that we should avoid using flags and
territory maps in a piece of software for the global market, we should
avoid using controversial numbers.

That is apart from SIL numbers being inappropriate or wrong. The thing
is that even if we could magically come by the true exact number of
people with whatever definition we may have for them about speaking or
reading a certain language, there will be people who will doubt about
the number and claim that it should be lower or higher.

BTW, isn't this dialog interesting? I remember saying the same thing for
each release since at least GNOME 2.10.
