Particularly on minor points, I want to emphasize that I have no
problem with this. There should be significant leeway for different
languages to have conventions and norms that differ in some ways from
global conventions and norms, based on the desires of the contributors
and the prevailing culture.
A few things are absolute and non-negotiable, though. NPOV for
example.
