> This isn't okay. This isn't creating an inclusive environment. This isn't okay with the current political situation especially in the US. A maintainer speaking those words can't be kept. No matter how important or critical or relevant they are. They need to be removed until they learn. Learn what those words mean for a lot of marginalized people. Learn about what horrors it evokes in their minds.

I opened the article relatively certain about the nature of the complaint. 100% confirmed.

Seriously? Really? It seems Herbst is the one that wants a non-inclusive environment (ie. exactly conforming to his personal political preferences). Additionally this looks like an excuse as he was already admittedly burned out.

In any case, good luck to Herbst in his future endeavors, hopefully he can develop a thicker skin.

You have to understand that "inclusive" is newspeak and now pretty much always means that.
