Doesn't change the fact that it's accurate, and is the correct computer

If we want to be an inclusive project, it would be beneficial to use
language that do esn't scratch at scars
when we have other metaphors we can use.
I would suggest to you that trying to be "inclusive" turns a lot of
people off, making it overall less inclusive. ie, negative gains.
And I'm serious about that. If anything's been learned from the drama on
LKML last year, it's that for every one person "triggered" by status
quo, about three seemed "triggered" by forcing changes on that front.
