You made the decision. Do you also own it? "has been … made" to me does
not sound like you do.

Calling those who voted for changing or removing the package names

The thread you referenced clearly shows that it is more than just Ian´s
personal opinion. I agree with him about either changing the package or
removing it. And others did too. Among them also a woman who dared to
speak out.
I certainly won´t install the package and won´t use the software. If I
ever choose to use its functionality, I´d rather rewrite or fork it.

Obviously it is important here to "agree to disagree" in order to move
forward. What I see instead is a lot of resistance of each others point
of view, but not only on Ian´s side, also on yours… and I won´t exclude
me, as I did not fully let go and release on the issue. So also on my
side. I aimed at respecting your point of view instead of attacking you
personally. I hope I have been successful. There is a lot unresolved
about this topic.
I maintain two packages and still have my sponsor upload them for me. I
think I am not in a position to challenge your decision within the usual
processes in Debian. So I leave it at that.
Please note that I may not reply on any reply from you, as I already
made my point in the thread you referenced. I just chose to challenge
some of your claims and wording in your explanation.
Thanks,
