Tim, don't you also think that statements should be backed by
evidence, even more if they are particularly accusatory ?
We'll be lucky if S's editor doesn't sue the PSF for slandering for
publishing that S "upholds white supremacy".

I believe the commit message was written in bad faith. It reeks of virtue
signaling. Commit messages should remain purely technical in nature.
However, I do think the change itself is valid.
I don't care about the style of comments as long as they are clear and

much as I deplore the politicization of computers, logic, maths and other areas of human interest by particular interest

I think this commit message is not enough: we should take it further
and demand that Elwyn Brooks White choose change their last name to
something less supremacist.
Also: I've been waiting long enough to see this drama hit the chess
world by itself so I'm explicitly making the suggestion here.

Remember that the problem isn't the change in wording of the PEP. That's all
well and
I for one don't want to see politics involved in PL development. However,
inclusivity isn't a political issue, it's a human rights issue.

Math should stop being standardized, as it could alienate people of other
colors to it.
Commit should be rewritten as "Remove book advert from comments".

That's quite an interesting ruling by the SC. I'm not surprised to see
them bend the knee to PC, but it is disheartening to see they're fine
opening a can of political worms in a programming language. I suspect they
will deplore messages outside of their bubble though.
