My objection is that you are singling out one thing that you don't like and attempting to impose your will on a project which is not under your control. In the US, we still have some semblance of free speech rights and you are stomping all over those rights. Your position would be somewhat stronger if you were applying the same metric to all aspects of the kernel, which you are not, but even then I would object based on the fact that it isn't your job to police the kernel for political correctness. If you want that to be your job, go form your own project and impose whatever rules you see fit. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
