It always makes me chuckle when a bunch of non-contributors come out of the woodwork to provide their opinion on a change which will affect them not at all.

Funnily enough it's always stuff that's bikesheddding.

I spend months trying to solicit feedback on new experimental stremaing/cancellation APIs in Node and it's silence for a year until people start using it.

We say that contributors agreed to list pronouns in the readme or we mention inclusivity and oh-boy do a lot of random people from the internet cares about how the volunteers that write the software they use for free refer to each other internally.

Oh boy. If they don't like it, then they don't have to contribute. (Spoiler: none of them are contributing anything.)

I think the reason is that the change just sounds so insane at face value that many can't help but comment on it.
We also demand that they stop working on any web3 integrations because it’s useless and we dont like it
