I think that NetBSD's acronyms file should be for acronyms that ordinary people are likely to encounter in ordinary situations; not for acronyms used in some small subculture. In that case, the file(s) would be rather short. I feel differently about the direction of acronyms and it seems others do as well. Since forks are ideological differences in projects which arise over time and the license on these files is public-domain, I've forked wtf-20140424 from jmcneill's last commit as wtfubar.

Re: CVS commit: src/share/misc
I'm responding to the recent posts ITT, because it seems there's some
misunderstanding:
1) What has been committed is no more offensive than the existing material
in wtf and fortune. Please, review fortune's data files if any doubts exist;
2) wtf and fortune have existed in source since $TIME without any uproar;
3) There aren't any rules documenting appending entries to either;
4) We don't tend to make up rules as we go along committing;
5) Since #2 and #4 are ad antiquitam arguments, if $YOU feel wtf and fortune
are no longer representative of the project and have evidence thereof (some
sort of poll indicating the majority of developers/users are in agreement with
the sentiment), then just rm them and deal with whatever backlash! It's that
simple;
6) A vocal minority ($developers_itt / $total_developers - on either side) is
not the voice of the entire group. See #5. My actions are based on #1-3,
and are not intended to be disrespectful, incendiary, or whatever other
strawman label which has been attached;
7) Being a reasonable person and presented with convincing evidence that my
actions were incorrect, I'm open to changing them and have done so many times
since being part of this project. However, poorly-reasoned and emotional
arguments are not sufficient. I don't find demands and expectations based on
those arguments to be reasonable. See #6 as well;
8) Commits made by christos@ seem to be a good solution/compromise. It's what
is being done with fortune already, though I recognise that as another ad
antiquitam argument;
9) The slippery slope of a) whatever group that mitigates disputes among
developers deciding the outcome of a particular source commit or set of
commits to b) threats to someone's project membership being revoked by team
members who are not part of membership-exec@ paints a rather particular image
of our project works to the public;
10) Given #7, it would be a rather interesting value judgment in revoking the
membership of someone who's maintaining 400+ packages and doing a bit of work
in making pkgsrc work better across ${OPSYS}. Though, i do not profess to
understand our values, apart from what's in the bylaws;
11) I like {,un}ordered lists!

Those who feel otherwise are welcome to turn this over to core@, who resolve disputes among developers. It's part of a culture in some parts of the world to stone people to death for various actions you would not consider a crime. So the whole it's part of the culture thing is not a very satisfactory argument. Cultures evolve, and this is probably why you can enjoy your life the way it is. NetBSD doesn't have to show any support to the parts of the culture it doesn't like. The Internet offers many sources to decipher those acronyms so there is no need to give them any more credit than they are due. Freedom of expression means you can enjoy playing Cards against Humanity, but it doesn't mean it should be played with just anybody. Also, core@ is the technical lead of the project. This is more a membership@ thing. I actually looked at the bylaws yesterday if there was a way for the Foundation to revoke your membership but since your behaviour is just toxic and not illegal, there is little it could do. It surely is difficult to define what the NetBSD project likes or dislikes, but considering the feedback you have received until now, I would say it is pretty clear those commits were unwanted. Please consider how respectful said feedback has been so far, and while I am not worried about NetBSD, you should think about what it means for your own reputation in the long run. -- Quentin Garnier - c...@cubidou.net See the look on my face from staying too long in one place [...] every time the morning breaks I know I'm closer to falling KT Tunstall, Saving My Face, Drastic Fantastic, 2007. pgpZaBhjbOu9F.pgp Description: PGP signature
