Hoi!
Depending on how deep you want to go in the subject you can use this
simplified picture:
http://eng.i-iter.org/you-don-t-let-baby-out-incubator-until-you-are-sure-he
-she-can-survive
or you can give me more detailed questions. It's a long and interesting
story for a linguist :) From a strictly linguistic POV we simply solved what
can be defined as a long "trademark war". Nothing else within this issue
falls under our competence.
From a "community POV" AFAIK the two
communities *might* now quit their war
and unite to defend the right of be-x-old to
exist (which I would personally
welcome if the atmosphere was that of a peaceful coexistence). The
Byelorussian language is quite in bad shape and needs all the help it can
get; wars do not help it, that's for sure.

Is there any chance you could summarise the byelorussian issue for
those of us who haven't been following it? I've got a query about it
and I don't know where to start looking for details...
