[Mageia-dev] What is Mageia's policy reagarding filesize display? (units/base 2 vs base 10)

At the moment we have
+the bash showing values in base 2 with the unit K,
+dolphin showing them in base 2 with the unit KiB,
+pcmanfm showing them in base 2 with the unit KB.
+
+So patching nautilus to use base 2 woul make for a more common behaviour 
+of the distro, but it will create work for our GNOME maintainer since he 
+would have to maintain that patch for every future version.
+And it could break any other thing in GNOME since GNOME apps are quite 
+interweaved with one another and you never know, what app uses nautilus 
+in parts for what.
+
+So personally I would prefer not to patch such a minor flaw, especially 
+not knowing when other upstream projects will choose to go to base 10 as 
+well.
