This has already been covered in the original proposal under objection
(1) "It doesn't matter". As has already been discussed, what actually
doesn't matter is what you or I think, it is the people who have been
affected by the language we use that matter. These are the people who
won't contribute to GNOME because of these terms, and it is the project
that loses out in the end.
Numbers please? For example how many contributors GNOME has lost last
year? Do you speak about one or two people? Hundreds people? More?
