So now all of your colleagues will use "Familyname Surname" or
"Surname Familyname" format, yet you will stick with this
"Familynamesurname" one word thing?

What we are looking for is consistency.

I understand the ordering in asian languages is opposite to western, I
see it all the time in Korea and elsewhere, it is nothing new to me.

But this desire to use a single word to contain both the surname and
the familyname is not what should be done when your asian names are
romanized.

I don't see this practice generally done by other Chinese developers.
So please use "Li Peng" or "Peng Li", whichever you prefer, but be
consistent with your colleagues and other's of your culture who submit
kernel changes.

Thank you.
