As Glynn Clement below has already mentioned, metric paper sizes are
*the* standard.

There is no variety. There are standard metric sizes and non-standard
American sizes. Any other sizes are pretty much marginal.

Given the FLOSS's nature, it is only logical to keep to the standards,
even if a minority feels uncomfortable with that. But if we didn't keep
to the standards, we might as well go and write closed-source freeware
instead.

Thanks for your understanding.
