You are turning it backward.

This proposal is 100% political and 0% technical.

The current patches are nice. So I praise the very positive contributors 
implementing it with clever avoidance of cleaving cancel culture custom 
gender inclusive grammar. I would not have been that clever.

I just let you know I have seen this live a year ago when cancel culture 
advocates infiltrated the board of the French non-profit ISP 
organization of which I am a member, and managed to get approval for an 
inclusive rewrite of the association's statutes, with a significant loss 
of legibility, and clearly for crassly political reasons.

This is the head reason I react so violently and remains very vigilant.

This is what is happening here. Now they just ask for mundane changes 
and will probably accept the patch. They will come again and ask for 
inclusive grammar, then come again and ask for removal of anything that 
is even remotely related to slavery (Example: master-slave database 
replication), racial discrimination (please remove blacklist and replace 
by exclusion-list), sexual assault or anything even remotely related. 
They will not give-up until everything is expunged of every trace of 
anything until total destruction or what's left is a bland ghostwith 
nothing left of history and everyone has fought each-other.

Then they will vanish and destroy other community, other history.
