The name is still spelled wrong. NEVER in my years as a human being in the North American English world have I heard "inexistent". It's always been "nonexistent". Please fix the spelling before release.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary:
http://www.bartleby.com/61/25/I0122500.html
SYLLABICATION: in·ex·is·tent
PRONUNCIATION: ng-zstnt
ADJECTIVE: Having no existence; nonexistent.
It's uncommon, but it's not wrong. That's not an argument for or
against the change, but against your claim that it is a spelling
error.
