Now for another glorious thread of Hacker News users getting pitchforks and torches over something they simultaneously insist doesn't really matter

It doesn't matter in the sense that changes like these help protect approximately zero vulnerable people on average every time they get implemented (but often cause major annoyances for others like when git changed the default branch name to main).

What does matter is that the moral busybodies pushing these changes have no intention of stopping there, and you have to keep them from getting a foothold in anything, which requires constant vigilance.
