That’s not the OPs point, at all. Nobody disagrees with or does not appreciate Google for their Go support, OP (rightly, imo) calls out that it’s a bit disingenuous to call it a “community” when “internal” continues to get thrown about on relation to language decisions.

A small logo in the bottom-right corner of the website is not a "language decision".

I would say that a community member disagreeing with the logo being there getting shutdown because of “internal” decisions is exactly a “language decision”. The “language” stewardship includes the spec, the code && the community, none of it exists in isolation.

FWIW, I’m totally 100% cool with the logo. Make it fucking huge and marquee that baby. I do think the way this issue went down is total trash tho.

I don't know, I think a lot of people in the Go team are really tired of this whole "you never listen to the community!!!1!" line. Repeating the same discussion over and over again with random strangers on the internet gets ... very tired, very fast.
