Frankly, I much prefer having 26 combining symbols over having to maintain a fixed list of country flags in the Unicode standard. That doesn't solve the problem

Frankly, I much prefer having 26 combining symbols over having to maintain a fixed list of country flags in the Unicode standard. That doesn't solve the problem of maintaining country flags but makes it Somebody Else's Problem, which is fine in my book.
