This is only another display of Gallic superiority. We need not even take over the systems now, we just rename them into our own language. It starts with Cologne.
Seriously though, it's about coherence. You don't see me complain (at least not as much as I could) about Picardy and indeed Burgundy. Go ahead and try to pronounce Bourgogne right on the first go, however.
I can see how people are pissed, I'd be pissed if my Bourgogne suddenly became Burgundy, but Koeln was the exception. The rest of Rheinland was already English'd, so it's merely a matter of coherence.
And ultimately, you're not bound by what's written on the world map in your RP. Call things however you like, Koeln/Cologne, doesn't matter since it's the same ! I take the utmost, obstinate pleasure in refering to the Bourgogne and Picardie systems, or the VALEUR battleships. People still understand and it adds authenticity. Not really a problem to me, then.
