Remember that the problem isn't the change in wording of the PEP. That's all well and good and not an issue. We're on board with what you just said and on board with the wording change.

It's the commit message at the top (on the linked page) that's the issue. The commit message was not "hey, we are now being more accommodating and aware." The commit message was "hey, you're a racist white supremacist if you pick a specific standard."
