I don't have words for the irony of complaining about changing words while

I'm sorry, I was a little deafened by the irony that it's only wrong to
complain about changes you agree with.
The commit was over-hasty, but that's not a crime. It improves matters
for those who find the idea of writing formal English daunting, but at
the expense of those who find the idea of filling a blank box with words
terrifying. A little more thought could have catered for both, but it's
not the end of the world. With a sufficient supply of round tuits I can
always submit a PR myself.
The commit message is a political message that flatly does not belong in
the repository.
Do you see the difference?
I really wish you hadn't brought up the master/slave debacle again. I
may feel obliged to submit PRs to restore the accepted usage because,
and I can't believe I have to keep saying this, *creating taboos only
ever makes things worse.*
