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.
