So let me get this straight, you feel uneasy that internally in PHP there is something called blacklist, a variable or something that, and changing those are making a statement in favor of a better community. Well that is also a biased opinion, I am certain we can dispute what is better for the community for days without end. What purpose does it serve to change the internal variables from blacklist to blocklist when it still needs to interact with the term blacklist, why would we use two different terminologies for the same thing? I am being negative towards this change because like I have stated before that it is a change for the sake of change and I do not find the justifications presented here to be strong enough reason to break working code because you feel offended by some political propaganda that has made you believe that blacklist is a racial slur, or whatever it might be. Censoring industry terms that has correlation to racial remarks whatsoever sends a signal that "Hey the PHP project would rather allow breaking your code because it needs to be diverse", what happens when the next flavor of the month term comes that needs to be censored for whatever reason, should we then also break that? Because if that was the case we could do that nonstop. I still don't think it will make the community better by breaking already working code. To say that the current naming is not diverse and welcoming is almost disrespectful in itself. -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
