Re: The request of words matter updated

Will this change actually harm anything - foreign libraries, etc?

If not, then because it clearly benefits some people, the cost-benefit calculus favors change.

I don't like it, but my opinion doesn't matter because the change harms nothing.

-1 on the patch because I don't believe people who disagree with the
change feel comfortable saying so publicly.

 If a word is so bad that people don't want to say that they want to
 keep it, then we should not keep it.

There's nothing "bad" about the word a priori. If *you* believe it has
to be changed, then *you* have the burden of proof.

Just like any other change.
