<p>Of course I could, but I do not feel like the effort to change
nomenclature is either beneficial or worth taking for granted the
requests of some people on Twitter - as the slave to peer
authority I am - given how much it affects documentation, code,
comments, general environment of the projects themselves. I enjoy
being surrounded by people much smarter than I am when it comes to
the mailing list here. Let's keep it that way and not derange
ourselves into meaningless blabber from social media.</p>
<p>What I did notice over time however that most of the projects
affected are also those who do have to maintain a good public
image, usually corporations. Meanwhile projects such as <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/opal/opal/issues/941">Opal</a> and
recently <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/rubocop-hq/rubocop/issues/8091">Rubocop</a>
as well were not. The latter one I'd like to draw attention to.
The maintainer clearly didn't ask for this and asked everyone who
shamed him, why are you doing this? None of the complainers were
affiliated to the project at all. Chances are that they weren't
even using it and just searched for projects with the name "cop"
in it instead. These are not the people I want to support in my
effort to end racism, which I <i>do</i> support, and quite
heavily so.<br>
