Hi.
I think we shouldn't turn this into a debate about the legitimacy of the Moldovan Wikipedia and the perceptions of Romanian contributors on the Wikimedia network.
What is important is that a proposal was approved, fairly, by the majority of Moldovan Wikipedia users which explicitly states, among other things, that the interwiki descriptor should be changed. This change is basically from "Moldovan" to "Moldovan (Cyrillic)".
Hence, I see no reason how that ties into Moldovan not being a language or something like that. The reason behind the change was to affirm the fact that the Moldovan Wikipedia only really contains content in Cyrillic script, and that Cyrillic script is neither the only, nor the majority script in use. Unfortunately, this mailing list doesn't support Unicode it seems, so the characters couldn't be displayed.
See http://mo.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ronline/Propunere to see how the change should be. I will file a report at bugzilla about this - it seems this is the most efficient way to change interwiki descriptors.
