So, I think it's pretty moot at this point, since the change was already discussed, approved and implemented and the chances of us reverting it are very small. That said, I think you deserve at least a reply here. The purpose here is to make the Fedora project a more welcoming place to people who _do_ find those terms unwelcome. That doesn't mean everyone does. It means we want to be welcoming and not jerks. I'm personally happy to do things to make people more welcome. Even if they are small things and cause a small amount of work for us existing contributors. If you have a few minutes, take a look at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0shU2g4IoI (Rich Bowens talk at nest with fedora on this topic). kevin
