@matthew,
I did not say that we mean something of that or that we should or should not mean any of that. The truth is, words not only have a denotation, they also have connotations. They might be positive or negative. For me, the connotations of the word "karma" are positive and I cannot come up with a negative one. Therefore, I am not convinced the word itself could be a problem. On the other hand, I agree that it might not be clear for newcomers, but as it has been part of the Fedora system and "culture" for such a long time a question arises: Should we throw our culture away to please anybody passing by who just lurks in for a while?
@michael,
I consider myself a believer (not a Buddhist however) so I cannot speak for the word Karma, but I would not feel offended if we called something a "shrine", or "redeemer" or whatever. Actually, if I were a Buddhist, I would feel offended by us removing the word Karma.
By the way, the word "Bodhi" itself has a significant religious meaning and we are not taking Bodhi away, however I somehow feel this is going to be the next step.
@mattia,
The ticket you have posted for us to view has been merged which means that the change has already been made. I do not think this is how we should be doing things. The discussion here has been going on still. What is the point to bring that information to a list, if you do not want to wait for other people's opinions?
