Well, may be people replacing 'assertEquals' by the new name
'assertEqual'[1] could talk with some GPT first how much work all their
downstreams might have due to this kind of estetic changes to find
patches? In the last year I've seen quite some changes which do not
obviously serve any better purpose than fitting some esthetics pattern
breaking some API. (The s/assertEquals/assertEqual/ one is not the
only example.)
