Can we please, PLEASE not get into this here? I've read every single argument there is to read, pro and con, about this issue over and over on every F/OSS list I subscribe to (and I subscribe to many of them). There's no point arguing about it because the people who want to change and the people who don't want to change both understand the position of the other, but they are never going to agree on a compromise. It's up to the project developers to decide what to do about this and we should respect their decision. It's not our place to decide they're racially insensitive if they don't change it, or that they're pandering if they do change it. As RMS advises, online we should always assume the best intentions, not the worst. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list evolution-list@gnome.org To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
