It's very sad to see how, paradoxically, the discussion about
inclusiveness and diversity ended up being harmful for diversity and
inclusiveness at IETF.
I'd rather say that this discussion has been, if anything, about
language ("inclusive language", if you wish).
If anything, language only scratches on the surface of inclusiveness.
For the most part, whenever there have been discussions about
inclusiveness that would affect the status quo, the consensus seemed to
be that that wasn't on the agenda (at times describing that as "it's not
for the IETF to do outreach").
FWIW, I haven't seen *any* discussion to, e.g., get more of the people
directly oppressed/affected by the terminology in
https://github.com/ietf/terminology involved in this discussion or the
IETF in general.
