I've spotted 12 instances of swear words in OpenJDK source comments, and
it seems appropriate to remove them.
Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8215217
(webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~afarley/8215217/webrev/)
I've created a webrev and attached to the bug.
Also, I've mentioned in the bug that there are additional swears in more
excusable locations. It would be good to get the community's take on
those.
It also would be good to discuss the instances that you’ve proposed
to change in your patch.
I can certainly see removing the f-word, and other words of a sexual
nature. Those are clearly inappropriate.
Removing lesser words, and continuing to police their use henceforth,
strikes me as overkill.
What do other Committers think?
I don't think our sensibilities need be so delicate as to be compelled
to purge mild exclamations from test files.
As noted elsewhere on this thread, the words altered in the proposed
patch which intersect with the words in George Carin's list of "Seven
Words You Can Never Say on Television," originate in up-stream sources
and would be better addressed there.
