I hope they never give in to the corporate-lawyer induced bland-washing .
I'm just a Free Software user and developer and I think it's nicer when I can recommend something to someone without having to think about whether I might be saying something rude or hurtful. I assume there was a stink about the name because it bothers some disabled folks. It's not my place to tell them not to be bothered, I'd rather just not do the shitty thing that bothers them.
It seems cringey and childish to insist on doing a thing that makes a bunch of people feel unwelcome based on something about themselves they can't change. And, for what? So you can feel like a scruffy teenaged hacker?
I like my Free Software community to welcome people of all sorts.
But still, I have the feeling there are way more people thinking people will feel unwelcome than actual people feeling unwelcome. Though people's sensibilities do seem to shift a bit and maybe I'm just becoming an old fart.
