As ist is our official name, I tend to recommend to do so. Especially, in the German commnuity there are still enough people thinking we would really be a "Foundation" (Stiftung), which is not true. Adding this "e.V." would solve this issue as well.
I disagree. That we are a e.V. registered in Germany is just because there are no European associations. The e.V. is strange for people outside Germany. We are Free Software Foundation Europe. The e.V. is the legal hack.
