Why does .Net Framework erase Chinese and Macedonian?

{"----n (Former Yugoslav Republic of ----)", "mk-MK"},

Why break the pluralization?

{"anathema", "anathemata"}, {"----", "----ta"}, {"oedema", "oedemata"},

{"simplex", "simplices"}, {"iris", "irides"}, {"----oris", "----orides"},

{"b----o", "b----i"}, {"crescendo", "crescendi"}, {"tempo", "tempi"},

{"dictum", "dicta"}, {"millenium", "millenia"}, {"t----zium", "t----zia"},

chassis: why?
trapezium: what's wrong with geometry?

I believe there is a list of forbidden words, which are removed when publishing this repository. That seems to include names of countries that other countries object to (Taiwan) or used to object to (calling the country that's now known as North Macedonia as simply Macedonia). It also includes words like "rape", which is the part that's removed from "trapezium".

Since this is reference source (i.e. not compilable code) for .Net Framework, which is more or less not actively developed anymore, I don't think it makes sense to care about this.
