Well, I haven't seen anything of the sort added to CVS yet - just 
some big threads on the mailing lists, which have mostly been 
ignored by the main developers.

OTOH I agree its getting pretty annoying.  The Blitzkrieg wonder 
by itself was problematic/questionable/etc but not particularly 
offensive, but the government, units etc (which seem to revel in 
supposed nazi power), are clearly inappropriate for Freeciv.

Good point.  (Well, except about "is going to happen", IMO.)
