    This, sooo much this! People don’t realize that this change created a lot of unnecessary work to a lot of developers for no other reason than PR or to act smug about it. They solved slavery problem by renaming master to main equally well as they solved homophobia and transphobia by allowing people to specify pronouns on their profiles. Who the hell cares if you identify as tree sap. However many do care if your code sucks or doesn’t follow coding style.
