I want to add that, personally, I think the word "master" is much more interesting and descriptive than the word "main", if you think of it like a "master record". In this context, the master record was the authentic, trusted recording that the other copies were supposed to be based on or compar

Questions about a duplicate package and naming of go/python/etc packages.

Hi, In January 2023 I added the docker-registry package while the go-github-com-docker-distribution package was there since 2018. This is most likely due to the way I named my package: I followed the other distributions (here Trisquel and Parabola) package name. While the way to go is to merge a

The absurdity of this claim relies on the assumption that the burden of self-reflection is supposed to be _only_ on the shoulders of Christopher, or anyone who doesn't agree with those who "feel the need". What is stopping those who so strongly do feel the need for this change to _also_ undergo
