I align with most of this position. An engineer's time is better spent on technical problems, not political ones. There is no technical benefit, so don't spend time on it. And there are other venues for political discourse. > If you like to change that, feel free to create a fork of the upstream > projects and use the terms you prefer. I hope no one would object if OP created a politically correct ifenslave-pc package. I don't want to bikeshed, though. Slavery ended in the US about 150 years ago. I don't know any slaves, and I don't own any slaves, so I don't really have a dog in the fight. Jeff
