Personally, I prefer the european flavour too. However, a quick count on the original tree shows: spaans@spaans:~/bk/export$ grep -ir 'flavour' . |wc -l 74 spaans@spaans:~/bk/export$ grep -ir 'flavor' . |wc -l 192 which is why I chose to do it this way. There's no reason to not do it the other way around, of course.
