See my answer here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-system-discuss/2019-10/msg00037.html That is exactly the problem and the problem was solved but just not respected by those few who are taking stance on their politics, in this case feminism movement, Ludovic Courtès and Andy Wingo and other supporters of the pro-feminist politics have published their pro-feminist statement here: https://guix.gnu.org/blog/2019/joint-statement-on-the-gnu-project/ and have not openly said what it is, neither stated the fact, but tried to bring GNU community down for reasons of Thoughtcrime[1]. Ludovic Courtès said to me that reasons are of feminist nature: - abort() joke, see the IRC log where he said to me it is about abort joke and "MIT episode": http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-07.log search for "abort". - see another evidence here where he introduces feminism stances on Emacs Virgin jokes: http://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2019-10-07.log Basically RMS is guilty of Thoughtcrime[1] and they (those proponent of feminism movement) would like GNU without people who think different. GNU project was always a apolitical and independent. That is why there is freedom zero that anybody can use software for whatever purposes they wish. For example somebody could use free software, GPL licensed, to abort() or prevent-abortion(), or to spy, create wars or prevent wars, publish nazi propaganda or anti-fascist propaganda. By introducing politics other but free software into GNU project pages, those pro-feminist group of GNU maintainers have tried to make GNU project political.
