On that I agree, and I'd be fine with keeping the old terms as deprecated in order to keep compatibility.

However, I'm definitely in favor of removing these terms from our codebase. So thanks to Thomas for submitting this patchset.

I wholeheartedly disagree with that definition of inclusivity.

Now, picture me a pessimist, but I fear this kind of discussions, through public emails is not going to go smooth, but rather heat up quite quickly. I'm fine keeping this stashed until the next asso/technical meeting and discussing it then.
