Yes but this seems increasingly unlikely now. However, there may be an=20=

alternative.

Jugding by the release-message for 4.19, some people here are fans of=20=

Monty Python's. No wonder - as those guys are famous for being unrelent=
ing=20
supporters of Political Correctness.

So one would be on the safe side if one just supplemented "Our Pledge"=20=

with this:

=09"Everybody has the right to be offended."

I think, John Cleese would also welcome this.[1]

What do you think?
